Even if you bought them all as a package, there has to be a break out for each property somewhere in your documents/past tax returns.  

The seller is looking to sell this as a package deal (all buildings at once) and is open to do seller financing.

I know you said your project manager help find the deal but what kind of challenges did you encounter doing all of this long distance (per your location next to your name)?

Just curious if any of you have encountered a similar plight and found creative ways to put deals together.Switching gears a bit, I drive past the county courthouse almost daily. 

Another way to think of it is this and i used to be this way but i learned the value of time is far more important of a commodity than money is or ever will be. to learn it on your own could take years, decades even and to learn it from someone who has already blazed a trail and has all the answers to any scenario that you could possibly encounter and cut your learning curve time down by years. . . . . . don't you think that's worth a few grand?

This way you don't need to involve other partners.Separately, I would only partner with other investors on a multifamily unit or a package of single-family houses.

Clearly buying 3 houses will give you the best long term investment however many of encounter problems and difficulties where we may need to liquidate our investments.

It's important that you know exactly what expenses that will be encountered on this deal so you can factor all numbers into your deal. if you haven't done so yet, I'd check for a clean title or see if anything other than what is listed shows up.  

Its important to remember you are looking for someone to watch do this business and not just someone who has packaging for their "program".
