Similar to Home Depot, you build out an order with all the items that you want and they send the order off to Corporate who provides an itemized discount.

What about any local sales tax you may be obligated to assess and collect from the tenant?

Plus, it doesn't take your money to do deals anyway.Come to think of it, I have dead equity with obligations that I'm liable for.

I'm starting an investment company with my best friend - either an S corp or LLC.

They are quite easy to find on Craigslist, Zillow, use Airbnb as free advertisement with a 30 night minim stay, or get with a realtor to post it for you but my personal suggest is to throw some furniture in there and rent it out for $4000 - $5000/mo using Airbnb or corporate rental. 

It wasn't easy because he recruited me to the company with the expectations that I would climb the corporate ladder as fast as possible and he was going to help me do that.  

If you all would like, I can dig up cases -- in any state -- involving people who had their personal assets attached because they did business in their own names or as a sole proprietorship, partnership or JV rather than through a corporation or limited liability company.

Don't pierce the corporate Veil:  This can occur if the entity either is poorly capitalized.Inadequate Initial Funding of the entityor fails to maintain a separate identity from its ownersConversion of entities Assets for Personal Benefit:Another factor that poses a risk of piercing the corporate veil is the draining of entities assets (such as payments of large salaries to shareholder-employees) that leaves the entity with inadequate resources to pay its debts. 

I believe that solving the issues I will be describing would do good to all co-owners as they could finally sell their parts and see some money from their property after just paying property tax and some maintenance costs year after year.There are some tricky parts in the buying procedure, one of which is a part that has obligations on it.

Does the purchase agreement obligate the seller to provide financial docs?
