A good host knows the local festival dates and has a handyman and multiple cleaners on call and ready to goa very clean house and quick turnaround are vital Im listed as a co-host but I pay a local host to do the legwork 

A lifelong friend and I are motivated to (virtually) meet and connect with those in REI working in the Pittsburgh area.I'm active duty military and living in California with two rental properties (one in Virginia Beach & one in Pittsburgh) and my close friend owns a single family in Baltimore.  

Screening tenants is an essential duty for landlords.

We go above and beyond when it comes to protection.. starting with insurance coverage, sings in the listing and in the property that there is no guard on duty (as silly as that sounds), putting extra locking device high enough so youngsters can't reach, an alarm/beep system to alert them that door opens for those with small children (or elderly) so they cannot wander out in the backyard with no one noticing and risk drowning.

If the agent is representing the buyer then he for sure needs to take duty and care and to allow a buyer to send such HUGE deposits directly to the seller / builder and not to the title and escrow company is highly questionable for obvious reasons.

I am active duty and currently stationed in Jacksonville NC.

Former Marine that started investing while he was still on active duty.

I'm following up with Vitality hopefully in the next couple of days and will be sure to pick his brain the best i can.

Though my property management company eventually took care of the eviction proceedings and repaired the property to prepare for a new tenant, I feel they were negligent in their duties.
