Anyone specific at the County Auditor's Office that I should ask to speak to (specific department or title)?

If the banker has to work hard on supporting your numbers, they will most likely work on an easier file.Yes, you can be the Sponsor so you will need to provide a PFS (Personal Financial Statement) and REO (schedule of real estate owned).Good luck with the transaction

@Karran GuptaHi there,I found the Jersey City departments very helpful and informative when I called.COVID messed up my plans so I didn’t go through with the permitting process yet.I would call them with short clear bullet point description of what you are doing.They will explain the steps to you.Then ask roughly how long a permit similar to yours is generally taking at the moment if there are no issues.I can tell you that they guarantee you an approval or denial within 20 business days from the time they put it into the system.The steps that lead up to that are few and somewhat reliant on your doing things right as much as Jersey City.You could also hire an expediter.

Before I answer these questions I would suggest more that you talk to an experience real estate attorney who does these types of transactions to take care of your properties now and in the future. 1.

that would not fit a normal RE- agent transaction (which is less than 4% of all US-wide sells).

I have done a few of these type of transactions.

For the vast majority of real estate transactions, you don't need a business entity. 

Just a transaction to make it crystal clear for the lender)

Syndication documents can run $2500-$15000, (if custom more on the higher end of that spectrum).Read up on the Howey Test, if the transaction meets the below, it's a security. 

Days after securing the contract on my unit I found out the corporate-owned units were all just sold; transaction closed and now part of public record.Based on the average price per unit that the new corporate buyer just paid in acquiring the majority of the rest of the complex, I should theoretically have significant instant equity on my unit, as soon as I close.So my questions are:It seems like a no-brainer to me that the managers/representatives of the entity that just acquired the majority of the condo/apartment complex ought to be interested in adding another unit to their holdings (same complex / same building as their own units).
