Purchasing a duplex with an FHA home improvement loan and need a general contractor to do some repairs and upgrades to the units.

Sent the background check , she needs to accept. 
Sends her to log in screen. She tries to create account. says she already has one. She doesn't. How to fix this?

Smartmove is being a pain in the butt. Is there another service out there that I can use?

Thank you @Jeff B.  . Very much appreciated!  Sorry for delayed response, work has kept me away from free time for the net lately.

If you own several different properties, even saying they are basically same rental and tenant bracket, can you have different set qualifications for each property? Or does that set you up for a fair housing complaint?

Not a lawyer. 

I doubt that would fly if you ended up in court.

I own a duplex,  and am house hacking. Im going to live in the upper apartment and rent out the bottom.  The laundry connections are right now part of the bottom units electric connections so laundry electricity will go to the bottom unit. The electrical boxes for both units are right next to each other. Anyone have a guess on how much it should cost to have the wiring from the laundry switched over to the upper unit?

I think it has to do in how you make the request for the reaiming. If you call and say its not getting a signal, as compared to, hey i just re roofed my place and need you to come reaim the dish.
