How do I get the agent (in which I have not tried) to accept my credit card offer on the property?

Banks will not accept a business they think is operating illegally or fraudulently, @John Jacobs.

If they can't, you could test yourself by driving a long thin nail through the drywall that covers the firewall and see if it hits "something really hard" about 1-1/2" in.

In fact, the only time we ever had an animal do more damage than the deposit was on a set of tenants that had red flags but we accepted them anyway against our better judgement.

They accept financing so all cash is not necessary and we are asking them to paying for closing costs. 

Had an offer accepted on a house in the Reeb-Hosack area of Columbus OH.

Begin with a small daily budget to test performance, then scale up based on results.

When they accept one of the new lease forms we schedule a signing either at our office or at the unit.

The person who is doing our remodeling work doesn't accept our mode of money transfer(like zelle or bank to bank transfer) and requires checks.

Reverse exchanges may be possible for experienced well capitalized investors but for most, I would say it’s not really a practical option.Mike’s suggestions of being prepared and proactive is a good one.I encourage 1031 investors to start looking ASAP - get to know the market - identify potential buys - and start making offers - before one has sold their existing property.The issue becomes will a seller especially in a strong market accept your offer “contingent upon the sale of your property”?
