I'm not a fan of double closing especially for the unexperienced because the sellers realtor's primary alliance is with the seller not buyer and it is impossible that you are both getting equal treatment. 

I was happy to gain access to my funds, but it did not make up for my wasted time (about 3 wks) and their unacceptable treatment initially.

Virtual assistants, like any employee, seek fair treatment, timely payment, and a chance to excel.As your business expands, consider virtual assistants as an option.

You may also want to consider adding a UV water treatment system in the future to avoid this happening again.

Ethical Considerations: The Trust FactorEthics play a significant role in the real estate industry, and this is another area where realtors and wholesalers often find themselves at odds.Code of EthicsRealtors are bound by a code of ethics that demands fair treatment, honesty in advertising, and full disclosure about property conditions.

Tax treatment on short term stuff is an issue. 

Hello – I'm looking for confirmation of understanding/ advice relating to transferring property into LLC and treatment from a tax perspectiveMy parents completed a 1031 exchange over 2 years in their own names – they file a joint tax return.

The issue at hand is that you and your husband must have the intent to hold the replacement property for rental, investment or business use in order for it to qualify for tax-deferred exchange treatment. 

I would give them the red carpet treatment.  

While it's true that I am generally much more likable than you I receive no special treatment from the mods here at BP.
