This all meant to be food for thought. not a definitive proof f one thing or anotherWhat i take from this is similar to my thoughts on flipping.

Do you ask if they’re financing or paying cash if so do you ask for proof of funds or pre approval letter from lender ???

Need a break down, points, fees, prorated property tax,title insurance, transfer fee, courier fee.

One of the things that I like about real estate is that it's virtually recession-proof.

How does the seller get proof I've put in the earnest money? 

What I'm feverishly trying to create is a template that can be used nationwide, with a few tweaks to any given locale, as proof tiny homes work. 

I don't know that you'll be able to make a lower offer because of cash in this market, but you'll be more attractive than the other bidders at the same cost.Be sure to have a bank statement showing the full funds available to provide as proof of funds after your offer is accepted.People do the refi after purchase all the time. 

In the situation of a law suit you will need the "burden of proof" to show that the entities are operating separately and according to their OA, and having a clear balance sheet to prove as evidence is a strong method to accomplish that.As per your request about the Series LLC being available in New York: state law will provide whether a certain state has a Series LLC option.

@Chris Sukala and of course I fat fingered the submit before proof reading.

Just part of the due diligence process which isnt 100% fool proof.
