No matter how much planning and due diligence we do, there’s always an element of uncertainty, whether it’s hidden issues like wiring or unexpected price jumps.

One issue I've uncovered in this is that they also add a $75 "admin fee" in addition to the percentage based "supervisory fee."

FYI the comment was posted before you resolved the issue, I just made an update.

They just seem to have the people and resources to best handle big issues like that. 

I specialize in creative financing, title issues, and stopping foreclosures.

I'm trying to confirm the final replacement property identification deadline because the IRS issued a Disaster Notice that may extend my 45 day deadline.My qualified intermediary says they will not confirm the IRS notice applies or whether the 45 day date they gave me is overridden by the notice.

I have the rental properties insured with a variety of lenders and no issues with putting all of them under the umbrella policy.

In my experience, it’s all about networking with local contractors and being flexible with your plans to stay ahead of any issues that come up.Happy to exchange knowledge!

I emailed Zillow about this issue but have not received a response yet.

With 3 properties already, you're definitely not "new" anymore ;-) Doing a refi is very possible (depending on how much equity you've accumulated) to do those types of things...the issue can be the tax ramification that you face if/when you do it.
