This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive.

I’ve been looking for a simple to use solution for this as well.

They won their first case in court that you are referring to.2.  

Alternative deposit solutions only have a small adoption per building.

I don't provide landlord references, good or bad.

A Section 1031 exchange, often referred to as a “like-kind exchange,” allows for the deferral of capital gains taxes when you reinvest the proceeds from the sale of real property into another real property of like kind, used for investment or business purposes.Unfortunately, you cannot use a 1031 exchange in this scenario because the sale of a primary residence and the purchase of a small business do not meet the “like-kind” requirement.

The building has been passed over by many people due to the layout, but I have a creative and viable solution (boutique hostel/hotel hybrid in well-established and overpriced tourist destination). 

HELOC & bridge loan thru Truly Investor Capital (if you're interested, let me know and I can broker for you or refer you!)

It's the same case for hiring a highly referred plumber who will fix the leak and a few other things for the right price, or take the new guy no one has ever heard from and your leak has now turned into an explosion. 

@Mirlyne AndreRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
