*Our LLC signed the lease, which he would be responsible for as well (FYI, the LLC only has 1 property in it, which is currently 40k under water, so essentially has no assets).Looking back on it, I easily could and should've done this deal on my own.  

Can you talk to the code enforcer, explain the tenant problems, and essentially ASK for him to post your property for no occupancy for failure to comply with the requirement for the common area meter?  

The deals we have closed required very little negotiation, essentially we just made offers right off the bat that were satisfactory in the owners minds.

This will allow us to continue the company's growth.We still have a wholesale business (plus a couple of buy and holds) so I'm working with the rest of the team ensuring that we're still generating wholesale revenue (And any one of the deals can possibly become another rehab project for us).

Its possible to buy with financing, but you essentially need the lender there with you with the money in hand.  

If you make the minimum monthly payment on time every month, and pay the entire amount off before the end of the promotional period, you will pay zero interest - essentially a free loan.

Essentially I would like to build a stream of $20k/month.

So you're saying the proforma is just essentially a waste of time and that instead of arguing with the seller over numbers, I should just plug in my own best guess numbers?

A number like that means that essential one thing can go wrong per year.  

I get that you would have clients (essentially a book of business) and places under contract that get you a cashflow, but how would selling this business work?
