That is the only update I can provide today.

I filled out their survey and provided some constructive feedback, even though I don't own a STR here.

I do NOT have enough knowledge or experience in this arena to provide specific “how to” accomplish this, or even to provide specific”proof” of my position.  

Without knowing stuff like this, all the answers provided are meaningless. 

Scope of WorkThe Subcontractor agrees to perform the following work (“Scope of Work”):Detailed description of tasks and responsibilities.Exclusions: [List any exclusions here].Materials to be provided by: [Contractor/Subcontractor].Reference drawings or plans: [Attach if applicable].2.

Property management provides all of that.

Quote from @Jasmine Thermitus: Hello Everyone,I recently moved from Boston to North Providence and purchased my first property.

The utility company doesn't manage your property...they provide paid services until they're not paid anymore. 

We help our clients:1) Find a fixer-upper to buy2) We get bids3) Negotiate a Scope Of Work with the owner using "Maintain to the Neighborhood" to avoid over-improving, but understanding we will have to pass city Rental Inspection to avoid being a slumlord.4) Provide multiple jobsite videos to show progress and document WHAT was done and the QUALITY.5) Handle passing city Rental Inspection6) Find a tenant with a Replacement Guarantee per Class7) Assist with refinance, so client can repeatSo, why you looking OOS again?

In your case, transferring the property from a revocable trust to an LLC where you and your wife are the owners should not affect the 1031 exchange, provided the LLC is a disregarded entity for tax purposes .
