Some simple due diligence on that company would have caused some concern for people investing in the company (people who had money on exchange is a different story).

Our shared ambition is simple: deliver better traveler experiences across the entire traveler journey and maintain trust in the Vrbo marketplace.

It's only a $30k property so we just need a simple contract - I've already drafted one.

I recently contacted them about doing another simple 1 to 1 exchange and the fee is about $1,000.Now I see there are companies like this one that states a flat fee of $495 for 1 to 1 exchanges: http://e1031xchange.com/I know what the process is, and I know what to look out for.

I currently pay $15 per hour for contract labor for simple things like stripping a roof, cleaning up junk, mowing, etc. 

I supply toilet paper, paper towels, liquid hand soap at all sinks, dishdetergent, dishwasher pods, one new dishwashing sponge, spray oil, salt & pepper (I buy the plastic disposable ones for picnics so they can't be refilled) and a few other spices, trash bags, some cleaning supplies such as Simple Green and microfiber cloths, coffee filters, plastic wrap, ziploc baggies, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets.Guests are asked to bring their own shampoo, conditioner, personal soap for showers, sugar, creamer and coffee. 

A good property manger should be able to cover their costs in lower vacancies, lower maintenance costs, and better quality residents.Crappy tenants seek out DIY landlords because they know they can get away with things a good professional manager would not tolerate. 

Immigration law is complex (like any kind of law is simple) so you want to make sure you follow the rules.

There are over 50 of them all fresh and new for the year in the cabinet along with oils, flours, sugars, some pasta and sauce, etc etc.People love that stuff and those kinds of simple things can set you apart.

Even something simple like an InstaPot that makes it easier to make meals can improve the booking.
