You may just learn that you would rather not manage your own properties and choose to hire out to third party property management.

If you need to show proof of funds to the tune of, say, $250,000, then I would suggest depositing $250,000 into a checking account, and showing the other party a copy of the bank statement. 

Purchasing it with an unrelated party would most likely not fly since it is not typically reasonable that you would be using it as a vacation home/second home at the same time as the other party like it would be reasonable to assume this would/could be the case with family.  

I'm looking for a 3rd party laundry vendor or laundry broker to negotiate some new laundry equipment for a couple assets in Indianapolis and Cincinnati. 

I'm looking for a 3rd party company to execute a Utility cost savings analysis on two smaller Multifamily assets in Cincinnati (11 units) and Indianapolis (32 units). 

If you have third party management in place, your job is to manage the manager.

Plus there is a timestamp by a 3rd party. 

You have to decide if you want to accept their terms or not.In my town, a HELOC is usually based on an appraisal that is done by a 3rd party, not a county assessor.  

That part is going well!

But for the most part I think you'll just have to treat the majority of the expenses as an improvement.Most CPAs don't charge too too much for a consultation.
