Yes Amy, there is a certificate of occupation of course. 

During the due diligence process I found out that the 5th unit didn't have a certificate of occupancy, so legally I couldn't rent that apartment. 

Then the building dept. would have issued a certificate of occupancy.

USPAP (the appraiser's bible) requires each appraisal submitted to a client to state in the certification that compensation is not based on a predetermined result or value.  

Banks (at least in Texas) generally require the certificate of formation, certificate of filing, the EIN#, and the LLC Operating Agreement listing the members that have the rights to be able to open an account and withdraw money from the account. 

In Philly you'll provide the lease, lead paint disclosure, partners in good housing pamphlet, and rental certification license.

I hate the idea of paying my tenants more interest than I'm earning, so I need to earn more.Here is a quote from 8-203(2) (i) In lieu of the accounts described in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the landlord may hold the security deposits in insured certificates of deposit at branches of federally insured financial institutions, as defined in § 1-101 of the Financial Institutions Article, located in the State or in securities issued by the federal government or the State of Maryland.

. - just legal BS but may save you personally in a law suit, you are mixing personal gaurantee with business and breaking your LLC protection. here is NJ permit for the owner section, notice how each section starts with "I":CERTIFICATION IN LIEU OF OATH I.

Make sure it's a legal/registered rental with current rental certificates if it is Port Huron.

I was studying with internachi for the home inspection course but ran into a mental block so I am taking it easy till I get my inspection certificate.
