Has anyone found any creative ways to handle closing costs if 1) you do not have the money to cover it or 2) do not want to come out of pocket to handle these costs associated with the transaction?

I had some investment properties several years ago that also handled all of the property management myself. 

Cosmetic issues come next and it's up to you how you want to handle these items (i.e. paint, new cabinet hardware, etc). 

We need advice and strategy for merging and handling our personal finances (recently married), RE and S-Corp accounting/tax strategy, as well as year-end tax prep help.Looking for referrals to accountants who also invest in REI.  

Your money will be wired to the title company handling the transaction, and ONLY to the title company (after you verified their wire instructions).

I’m just unsure of now how to handle him not wanting to leave on the first of September.

Also, my contractors are crazy busy with more work than they can handle.

However, I was wondering if there was a service that handles these things.

I will still go to him for the big jobs but want someone I can call on to handle the smaller stuff.

I guess my question is, as a newbie, would you hire a property manager to handle your first few rentals?
