Newbie here- I haven't identified any specific assets yet but I'm looking at 4plex or smaller.

Create a simple spreadsheet or written list to compare the features of each and identify the ones that align with your requirements.

We had been kicking around the idea of investing in an Airbnb property for a year or so, but couldn't identify a location that compelled us as a place we'd like to establish ourselves and regularly visit.

I also don't have time to personally manage a complex like that but I have identified a property manager that charges 10% of rent to manage the units. 

This strategy identifies components of the property that can be depreciated over shorter timeframes (e.g., 5, 7, or 15 years instead of the standard 27.5 or 39 years).

I would have the mold tested by a professional company to identify the TYPE of mold in the house.

VRBO has implemented a policy where they charge a commission on bookings made outside their platform if they can identify them as direct bookings.

The reasons they identified will not impress the judge and you will win as long as you followed the proper procedures.There is no way to ensure that they won't damage the property, but you have recourse if they do.

You can ask the contractor if he can identify the cause and if so you can bill back the tenant if they are responsible.2.

Quote from @Olga Nadal: Here is the situation, we identified 3 properties for our 1031 with the idea of buying two and having a back up.
