But again, the experienced national QIs will be able to work with you just fine.What the best ones have figured out over the years (I can't believe the revised statute is now over 20 years old) is that taking the mystery out of the 1031 is the best customer service you can offer. 

I know when I do deals I custom create terms for my folks and not all terms are exactly the same. .. remember this is total beginner borrowers who don't know what they don't know that is who would respond to a no money down 100% loan.. with the highest rates in the industry right now.. ( which I totally get and would expect for the risk they ultimately take when and if they close a loan for a beginner with Zero money down.. 

However its probably appropriate up front to ask.. how do they handle customer communication and how quickly do they respond per their business systems..  

Professional photos, 3D scan, SEO presence and experienced agents that are paid based on your customer service experience is what I'd look for..paying someone for any level of service just doesn't seem like a good investment to me.I would also question the ethics of any brokerage/agent that bad mouth's or publicly makes false statements about another brokerage in direct violation of National Association of Realtors Code of Ethics (low paid, inexperienced agents)  I guess some folks feel a need to tear someone down to build themselves up!

Just a happy customer. 

Here are some screen shots of how I CUSTOMIZED QuickBooks that worked for me.

I try to minimize vacancy for my customers just like it was my own investment property.

You'll notice the BP calculator allows you to include custom categories for closing costs and I just include the amount in one of these fields.

I'm dying to know what they consider "high-end custom furnishings."  

Since I'm still dependent on my W-2 income, I'd like to start Part Time as a Listing Agent, meeting customers in the afternoons and on weekends (as well as hosting open houses), until I get a few wins under me - then I can go full time.
