I did discuss with my accountant and he is unsure as he is not familiar with IRA rollover process. 

You should have a chat with your accountant, if you had a loan on the property, you may need to buy a property for more than the cash you received to defer 100% of the gain.Best of luck

Once completed, the property was resold to new homeowners, providing a solid return on investment.

Providing a simple and easy move-in process can help create the best experience for new tenants.

What I've had clients do in the past is make an offer without a financing contingency where they tell the seller that they are getting a mortgage to close the deal, but also provide proof of assets to show that they can/will close by liquidating the assets if the loan gets declined.

I'm meeting with a couple agents i was referred to through my network and am wondering what critical questions I should be asking them to understand if they are the right partners for me in this market, especially considering I will be managing this investment from the other side of the country, and what info I should be prepared to provide to them.

The contractors who do work for me have zero issues with me sourcing the material if disclosed up front and not holding them accountable for any material issues.  

(End)Unfortunately, HOAs are often ran by individuals who are not the most knowledgeable on regulations, accounting practices, and more - and property managers do not want to intervene for fear of losing the contract. 

Always good to know of other companies who provide products and services!

Your best bet would be to have a FurnishedFinder account and used their "stats" page.
