If you don’t like this person, then I can see how it’s really bothering you, but if you have no animosity against them and it’s not bothering you, I would suggest finding something positive to focus on for the time being.

For my holding company I didn't bother with a DBA because it's not really public facing. 

What you really need to do is quantitatively work out bother scenarios with tax consequence.  

Thank you Joseph - I think you mean well, so your comment about someone getting hurt doesn't bother me. 

I have no experience doing this whatsoever, but it seems to me that he wouldn't take that seriously, or it would simply offend him.If that were true, then why even bother with the expensive properties?

Don't bother trying to require it.

If it was that simple, the banks wouldn't even bother having 2 separate rates because everyone would just get the loan and then quitclaim the property.

If you were provided the documents but never bothered to look through them (more common than you might think), then much of the burden shifts to you because, even though the seller did not disclose them up front, it was disclosed to you in this paperwork.If you were provided the HOA documents, but there is no mention of the dues increase in the meeting minutes, then some of the burden shifts back to the seller.So part of this is on the seller, but part of this is also on you.  

The benefit of doing this, don’t need to spend 60 days getting a commercial loan and do not need to bother with construction draws.The downside is we put $100k down and will need another $100k out of pocket for construction.

No one really bothers you, you can sell as much or as little as you want.
