Outsourcing some tasks may help, too...I am pretty small scale by design --but lots of folks on BP own large portfolios and add rentals regularly (how many also have FT jobs in full families sort of goes to your prompt)...So they can chime in and some probably have a template for a part timer to add a few rentals every year--and keep sane!

My guess, just like my guess for regular acceleration by changing ownership, is that they just don't really care or feel like spending the time.

Normally when people think 1031, it's the regular non simultaneous one thru a QI, which Chris was alluding to when he mention timing.Attorneys around here that regularly do real estate closings all tell me they don't understand it, so I still a QI on standby even if they don't hold any funds.

There are a handful of such providers that post regularly to these forums.

I have a tenant that is regularly late, he forgets and when he remembers, he pays the late fee.If by the 15th I have not heard from you or you manage to get to 30 days, I will consider eviction.  

I absolutely recommend  you schedule a trip to walk the areas you will be owning in and I regularly show folks from BP through my holdings to help remove the mystery from  zip codes and neighborhoods here in Toledo. 

These were intended to be wall tiles and are thicker than regular floor tiles.

Follow up on each contact on a regular schedule of at least 1x per month until they sell or tell you to get lost.Don't be opposed to hiring help.

It just takes more personal discipline to not spend the build up of cash and put it toward your home loan regularly - once a year or whatever works for you.Mortgage acceleration really depends on you having a surplus at the end of the month or pay period which can either accumulate in a line of credit or some other account you choose.If that's not where you're at, you may want to devote your efforts to a "debt snowball" first to pay down your unsecured debts first (3 to 5 years or more, depending), then go with the mortgage acceleration.Hope this helps ...

You have to determine if that's what you're going for.This is it...http://www.homedepot.com/p/Stile-Anderson-22-in-In...IF you are looking for something less modern, I would go with a regular home Decoration one from home depot, something that isn't brown but rather darker in color or gray.
