From my understanding the LLC won't provide the protection that most believe it will and since you can use the QBI tax rule on a schedule E, there may not be a benefit tax-wise either, so double check that. 

Usually they do since an appraiser will usually want to see I&E, but he's not going to parse it to the $0.01.I think if you make more NOI self-managed, he'll assume that is OK.Goal is to generate a CapRate (which I detest as a metric) for comparison sake,

You will both get mentored, and keep a little scratch and juice for yourself.  

It's class C so that has its issues sometimes, but overall the juice has been worth the squeeze.

What about the aftermath for w/e disaster it may be?

I would e-mail the listing agent, personally, as her contact info is probably on her website, just let her know that 90K is too much with those comps, but you are willing to work with her if she has a net figure from the bank to see if a deal can be made or not.
