Hey BP Community, I'M new to BP and finally getting serious about expanding my REI portfolio.  

They finally decided we were a hotel and thus responsible for the submitting the 7% city hotel tax.

Last point, and to answer your final question, no, your lender will not issue the loan if both units are still occupied by closing.

Finally, I schedule a walk-through inspection within one week of purchase.

My agent was finally able to get ahold of the seller agent.

There is some damage on the floor from a pet and one of the kids rooms has some urine smell in the carpet, they tried hard to get out but it is still there.We applied for rental assistance in December, and it still hasn't come through.Today they called me for the final walkthrough, "and just wanted to make sure they get their deposit back".If rental assistance comes through do I need to give them 2k for the deposit? 

I will give a deposit (30%) and then can and will if asked, float some funds (less than 20%) during the project to cover manpower but I will not hand over the final 50% check until work if finalized.
