I've seen examples of companies that don't answer the phone, only have 4 hours a week that Tenants can come into the office, practice just horrible screening practices, take weeks to respond to maintenance issues... the list goes on.  

Go to an agent who will look out for your interests with regard to the contract, earnest money, local practices and what not. 

On the other hand, if you have 5 flips going on simultaneously, then you want to deploy software such as Podio or BaseCamp.Hope this helps.

An email inquiry to the local city or county would probably be fruitful   I don't know about other counties,  but king county has several books/pamphlets that focus on fair housing best practices.   

Property Manager shall be, and Owner authorizesProperty Manager to be, named as an additional insured party on Owner's policies.Is this common practice?

Take your husbands phone away from him, I know not practical.....change his phone number, never allow tenants to have his number.

I wish airbnb would stop allowing such practices. 

@Erin SpradlinAccount ClosedThank you guys as well, now i've got some homework to do.form what I read on the IRS.gov link there are 3 basic types, a 1031 swap (simultaneous), a deferred (that's the 45 day identify 180 day close), and a reverse (this one I don't understand yet) does this sound correct?

And the client referrals to my accounting practice are a nice bonus.Thoughts?

Best practice is to get a lender-ordered appraisal, which is usually at least 4-5x the cost as a residential appraisal.3.
