If the seller agreed to do any repairs to the property you will want to view the property prior to closing to make certain the repairs were done (and done properly).Also make certain the current tenant security deposits are transferred to you.

My international RE experience is limited to South America, and it looks like I will need to build a forecast model from scratch to properly value the deal as the property and business are generational family-owned and the financials are not exactly GAAP compliant.   

Properly applying payments7.

My only issue is I want to make sure I am doing it properly.  

Depending on your lease, they did not give proper notice.

Pulling the proper permits? 

The point IS being friends with folks or spending a long weekend with folks is vastly different from (and you'll see a very different person when) living in close quarters with someone the next 6 months, year, or two years.Unless those folks have ownership in your property, they will never be properly incentivized to care about the home in the way that you do. 

I think It was Proper Use of LLC that talks about asset protection and anonymity and how to use land trusts and LLC together.

Again, this was done before we entered into a lease (though the damage became visible after).My lease with them already specifies that they're responsible for properly repairing "non-structural things", and that I'm responsible for "structural things" with the building.

A few takeaways: My client was shopping for SFR with ADUs and some agents specified that you need a lender with ADU experience; not certain what this means but I'm assuming they want lenders with appraisers who know how to properly value as my lender has ADU experience but it only benefited my buyer.
