How have you made that decision for your prior primary residence to rental properties?

Short term, leaving financing in place during rehab prior to resale — great strategy with limited risk to either party. 

Prior to this situation, I do not have any verbiage about noise complaints in the lease since blasting music at late hours of the night is “disturbing the peace”.

@Kaaren Hall after seeing your post i called them right away, their fees are extremely high for an HSA that for the most part most people don't have a lot of money in.I max my HSA every year, but if you have a self only plan you can only put about 4k /yr  and if you have some medical bills it's less.they are also very restrictive on taking money out, and no CC to pay the doctor. prior to speaking with them I was extremely excited to see this opportunity you suggested,  but after my conversation I'm no longer...I will look for other options now that I see there may be some, so thanks so much for bringing it up.

Or you can violate various tax rules at your own peril and claim the current rehab was dne prior to TOD.  

The ownership could be changed prior to structuring the parking arrangement, but last-minute changes without time to season the ownership change would significantly increase the risk the transaction could be disallowed as a step transaction under audit.

Lock up your new property with a lease prior to selling your old property.  

Make sure the previous property management company did their job and communicated a change in management prior to you taking over--along with your contact information.If they have no done this, they should so the tenant doesn't feel like a scam may be going on.Just make sure they're away of where rent payments need to go and who they can contact in the future. 

Each year, I like to take time to reflect on the prior year and where I’m headed in the current year.

The vast majority of contractors won't want to give bids on properties while under contract unless they have a relationship with that person from prior jobs.
