I'm obviously biased but I feel like having the attorney handle title clearance ensures someone is looking at the transaction from the view point of protecting the parties instead of getting the closing done. 

I'm looking for recommendations for an honest, fairly-priced, and communicative general contractor for handling a few significant repairs.

What percentage of that deal is fair?

Location is fairly good, land is on a major rd and the back part of it connects to an established neighborhood with older brick SFR’s All units a tenant owned, utilities aren’t included and overall condition of the park is on the low end.

I am actually fairly familiar with the O-Zones & O-Funds (at least as much as one can be since Treasury hasn't actually issued guidance yet.)  

The amount of rental income to include in effective income is based on 75 percent of: verified prior rent collected on the units (existing property), or the appraiser’s opinion of the property’s fair monthly rental (proposed construction).

- Should I pay taxes, Insurance, and HOA fees myself to ensure they are paid?

This matters because if I’m getting financing, or to ensure the association is solvent.

Of course I’ll treat the tenants great and fairly, but it still has me nervous.
