I am looking to buy my first rental property, but I don’t want to go through the transaction traditionally because I want to put the property under my business name.

You should use either LLC’s (the old and expensive way) or a Series LLC (the new and more cost/time effective way).

They are in rare form this year, really trying to screw residents out of every last penny they can.They are using comps from early 2018 even though their own rules say the effective date is Jan 1st 2019.I showed them comps from November through January of bigger houses (+400-600 sq. ft.) in my neighborhood selling for less ($20-$30K).

The building should be maintained well CAM needs to be done and it needs to look good and be desirable  but taking a C Class to B Class or A Class can be expensive and not worth the costGetting good rents by reasonable improvments that are cost effective in my experience leads to more flow than a total gut. 

I had a higher profile real estate attorney tell me that if both sides are attempting/making an effort to keep a transaction going, meaning signing documents or other things to show initiative, then the deadlines don't necessarily matter..  

Absentee Owners have been popular for a long time, and are apparently still somewhat effective (people are still mailing to them) but they are getting multiple offers to buy their home.

The landlord has the right to change the terms of the NEW lease which will take effect after the current one has expired.
