If I can facilitate people meeting in person I would be happy to do so. 

Just curious...You're going to need a 1031x facilitator to hold any proceeds, so this would be a better question for them or a CPA.Your question is also a little confusing.A 1031x must be a like-kind exchange.

There is more time than you think involved in coordinating a signature, answering questions from tenants, and facilitating the process.We try to always get a rental increase that justifies the renewal fee but, that is market dependent. 

Once you get that nailed down the next step would be to get a very experienced in MH's in the area you're interested in investing in.Or, if you partnered with someone who had the experience and the multitude of skill sets needed to profitably facilitate a comfortable transaction and ongoing rental investment.

The mortgagee shall satisfy the mortgage of record (and the Commissioner will satisfy any second mortgage required by the Commissioner under § 206.27(d) of record) in order to facilitate the sale, provided that there are no junior liens (except the mortgage to secure payments by the Commissioner if required under § 206.27(d)) and all the net proceeds from the sale are paid to the mortgagee."

Land contracts typically work in a unique fashion where a balloon payment, or lump sum, comes at the end of the repayment period after the repayment plan is negotiated between the two parties.Assumable mortgage: An assumable mortgage is a type of home financing in which buyers are given the opportunity to purchase a home by assuming responsibility for and taking over the seller’s current mortgage (especially if it’s charged at a lower interest rate).Lease purchase: Also known as a rent-to-own contract, a lease purchase agreement speaks to a form of agreement under which renters pay sellers an option fee at an agreed-upon purchase price that gives the renter the exclusive lease option to purchase the property at a later date.Land loans: A land loan is used to facilitate and finance the purchase of a plot of land for later use for residential or business purposes.Holding mortgage: Under a holding mortgage agreement, a homeowner agrees to serve as a lender for the home buyer, and provides a loan for the purchase, which the buyer repays by making monthly payments to the seller.

@Jane H. with a bit of scale you could use a service like Property Meld  to facilitate your maintenance items and pursue a review for each maintenance item. 

So if she created her own real estate company LLC would the marketing/copywriting count if facilitating buying and selling of real estate for us and others?
