You can’t do an exchange and immediately move into the replacement property and use it primarily for personal use.

if you're in St Pete frequently you'll need to turn some of those vacation trips into work trips - networking, building a team, and trying to find a distressed property.but the trick is then going to be moving quickly if either 1) a distressed property hits the MLS (unusual, but not unheard of) or 2) a distressed property comes to you another way (from your network, from a wholesaler.)how you will move quickly enough to lock it down and buy it, if you're in RI? 

If you ask the manager to justify a fee and he starts hemming and hawing, move on or require them to remove the fee.

While you don't exactly validate his claim..sounds like for many it might be moving that way.Is there any city that could make it a competitive advantage? 

Hoping it’ll be a successful move. 

NAR considered job growth, financing, renter who plan to purchase a home, migration to these metro markets, number of renters who are planning to buy as well as homeowners who plan to move.

Start with a notice if that you are ending the lease (assuming it is month to month) and if he doesn't move, then start the eviction process.

Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

If they pay all their bills and maintain a job it's unlikely they'll turn into an unemployed bum once they move in.
