As far as screening tenants for a long term rental, what about having a Property Management company do the advertising and screening of tenants?

It is just easier to cash out of the deal and get everyone's name off the mortgages.As far as contracts, use the TREC contract.

Is this because my budget is so low?

I am nearly positive no course could have ever taken me as far as partners and mentors.I highly recommend networking and partnering. 

The home has had many renovations done as far as flooring and kitchen, but the Main Bedroom and Bathroom is unfinished and the home is in Foreclosure.

My wife read online that if you use 1031 to purchase an investment property in NYC that as far as houses are concerned, you can only purchase a multi family house and not a single family house or houses.

@Jason Mergl, None of your properties are home runs as far as NOI to equity.   

As far as starting a property management company without a license, I am sad to say that you are correct. 

And omg this dude is so obsessed with himself he gets fake tans, writes articles about himself,  AND MAKES GIPHS OF HIMSELF LOL. 

Property Manager assigned.Moving out of state, not willing to sell the property right now.In addition to renters insurance and landlord insurance, which direction should I go as far as protecting myself?
