.- I do not wish to conduct a 1031 exchange, preferring to deploy the profits in stock market investments at this time.Are there any other kinds of significant tax breaks that might be available? 

Someone to conduct closings?

The best way that I know of to avoid making yourself a target for a lawsuit is conducting your business (whether it is in your name or a LLC) in a legal, fair, honest, professional, and rigorous manner.

I wait until the tenant is out and returns the keys to me, then I conduct the walk-through inspection alone at my convenience.

Better conduct your attorney.

Person: The deals can be great, but if the wholesaler lacks the basic characteristics needed to ethically and competently conduct business, its probably a waste of your time.

I haven't conducted any type of study but just through conversation with Realtors has left me with the notion that not many at all are investors themselves.

By the way, I conducted more evictions in my first six months than I have in the last 52 months of ownership!

Also I would conduct a inspection of the premises, bring along a 3rd party so no bs gets made up, and document the current condition of the unit with photos or videos.

This person won't have a financial stake in your deal, but he will have great pride in showing you how a compitaint investor conducts them self.
