Can anyone recommend hard money lenders who specialize in working with first-time investors?

The calculation involves:Selling Price: $1,075,000Original Purchase Price: $355,000Depreciation Recapture: $105,300 (taxed at 25%)Capital Gains: Sale price minus original cost, minus depreciation, minus selling costs (~15-20% federal capital gains rate for their income bracket).State Taxes: Since the property is in California, state capital gains taxes will also apply.Given the multiple layers, I’d highly recommend your parents work with both a CPA experienced in real estate and a qualified intermediary for the 1031 if they choose that route.If you need recommendations for professionals in Illinois or California, feel free to ask!

We recommend RentRedi for tenant and lease management. 

Start by asking for recommendations from local real estate groups, Facebook community pages, or other landlords in the area—they’re often the best source.What do you think about getting a good referral from a good property manager?

It's hard to give any recommendations without any specific questions/real numbers.

Whichever strategy you choose, ensure you're adhering to IRS rules about prohibited transactions and working with experienced professionals to structure deals properly.Regarding non-recourse hard money lenders in San Antonio, I don’t have specific recommendations.

@John McKee what would be some companies/funds you would recommend?

If the guest feels slighted, there is no fact checking service provided by AirBnB to confirm their claims, so it is up to you to let future guests know the level of professionalism you provide.If you are able, I would recommend editing your response to the 1-star review.

I highly recommend finding a broker and have them find a policy that meets your specific requirements.

Could you please recommend any local real estate agents?
