Additionally house tenants bring more of their own appliance, like refrigerator, washer and dryer; which means tenants are responsible for repair and replacement of their own appliances. 

thank you for your very helpful responses.

Hi everyone -I want to thank you for your thoughtful and insightful responses.

Brown: I use https://www.bestwyomingregisteredagent.com/Very simple, 100% online, they are responsive if you need help.

Thank you for your rude and unhelpful response, Jaron. 

A syndication was way overkill because there were only 5 capital partners so they customized an operating agreement with their attorney that outlined roles and responsibilities, distributions, membership interests, etc.And you don't have to have all this stuff figured out right now; it's very customary for us to assign the contract to whatever customized entity we end up forming.Just one caveat. 

If the seller isn't responsive, then do like the idea of telling the tenant you tried, and see if they can get some free legal assistance from a tenant resource center.It is a good reminder as closing approaches to ask the seller to keep tenants updated on the pending sale and when ownership is scheduled to change.

and in response to your question about someone else - also difficult. 

Be sure you consult your agreements with them as well to determine if there is some other action you are responsible for.You may also want to contact your insurance to find out if and when they may step in and do something.

In previous roles, I was responsible for the asset management, capital improvement, repair, and maintenance of an ANG Fighter Base worth over $400M.
