A good Realtor can help you strategize to get the best price you can based on the condition of the property.

They are gaining leverage over you and coercing you to make an emotional decision rather than a strategic one.

A good friend waited two years to get their deposit back due to strategic moves by a military landlord to avoid/delay repayment of deposit on a poorly cash flowing rental they owned (I believe they wanted the deposit to handle repairs they couldn't afford or want to pay for that were not the tenants responsibility).BP Service members, is it ethical to delay handling tenant disputes due to a deployment?

But this does not help with taxes.https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-se...The other side of the coin is that if your parents go into an old person home some people strategically dispose of all their assets so they become a warden of the State.

You can start with this one and always upgrade to a more robust (and paid) software, if you ever feel the need. 

On the other hand its NOT robust - just a simple flat amount and "X" number of days.Im also getting an email summary in the evenings when tenants make a payment.

I am in the process of doing demos for rent manager and Buildium and both seem robust.  

That said, I would recommend being strategic about your target locations.

We should meet up and strategize!  

But Dotloop is more robust and you can do e signatures in there.
