An even stronger indicator is that I am getting more and more orders to do BPOs (broker price opinions) for "banks".

This is my third year investing with my mini me 12 year old and this is our 5th deal.My 12 year old found us a great deal- I teamed up with my friend and family member agreed to pay purchase and renovations.

You're description indicates they DID NOT damage it as you describe the damage as "cracking" which is how door seals fail from normal use.

@Yamil NafRaising $160,000 for your short-term rental (STR) venture is a great goal, and there are several ways to structure the deal to minimize your upfront costs while attracting investors.

Unless the medical condition meets the state criteria for early termination and that the medical notice does not appear to suggest that, you cannot terminate the lease outright/immediately but that you will begin to market the property for rental and upon securing an acceptable tenant, the lease can be terminated pending a satisfactory property walkthrough indicating no damages. 

Better if the company has a lot of info in writing that you can absorb to minimize this.

In our area, its fairly "normal" for showings to happen after accepted offer to minimize disruption to tenants. 

This preserves the higher FMV basis for the child while minimizing gift tax implications.

That would minimize and maybe eliminate the need for a loan for those properties.

Proof of funds would be a bank statement or some other document indicating the liquidity you have.
