None of these reasons are sufficient to justify a failure of fiduciary responsibility. 

no one - not an agent, a wholesaler, a contractor, an appraiser - is going to take any responsibility whatsoever for anything. 

Going through the insurance process is more crucial to your strategy right now versus the tax implications.    

I like @Tim Ryan's response best.

As one who was personally defrauded by Clayton (despite his claims it was all his partner's fault), it really is disingenuous for him not to take responsibility when his Ponzi scheme fell apart.

I’ll definitely raise the question with them.Thanks for the response.

Thank you for the response and the knowledge! 

Meetups + books + podcasts are the way to go, but meetups are the most crucial to your confidence level and to know people like you do this every day.I agree with @Nathan Gesner on the heads up, when you say you are new and want help, everyone has a pitch, that's why meetups are so good - most have no pitch, just networking, unless it's run by a hard money lender.I have a couple friends who invest in the Lehigh Valley that I can connect you with when the time comes.

I wait well over a month before I hear any responses and then every single time they ask me to drop the rent.

I would suggest anyone considering web developer to build a site to take this crucial factor into consideration.
