Consideration must be exchanged for a real estate transaction to even be legal.  

It is very common in France where the landlord can decide to give away 2.75% of the rent in exchange for rent payment in case the tenant stops paying.

The use of an experienced qualified intermediary can significantly reduce the complexity of an exchange by assuring the proper execution of required documentation. 

How do you deal with Foreign Exchange Currency Loss?

Seller (a landlord) wants to sell multiple houses/two-flats and 1031 exchange them for bigger & better things (he has 20+ properties).

You won't have a tripod, off camera flash, or post processing.DSLR will offer more flexibility, and precision, but quality will be hardly noticeable especially as screen size decreases (cell phones/laptops).

As for the realtor scheduling, etc, in exchange for partnership status, forget it.

I responded back that that was an unacceptable response and I am expecting to receive the difference in a check and a new settlement statement.All of my exchanges with the property management company are in email written form. 

Unless that's something you have agreed upon, like they help you out in exchange for you doing lots of deals with them, then I would just simply say you need it done in 6 months or less.
