I ended up having to pay for their tax preparer’s time to (finally) meet with me and make corrections.

A 1031 exchange is a smart choice for your parents, reducing immediate taxes to $70K (capital gains on $300K boot + $25K depreciation recapture) versus $148K without it.

I finally had to take a week off work and make myself incredibly obnoxious to ICE (the electric company) to get everything sorted out but our power is now on. 

2) You MUST screen these people before renting to them, but you can use FurnishedFinders screening tool3) Otherwise, you can put your choice of screening link in your ad or include in a response template in FF.

The Housing Choice Voucher program here is run by CMHA (Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority).

We quickly saw its potential and finalized a deal with terms favorable for a successful flip.

Finally I came to my senses and served them a 'Notice to pay rent or vacate by the 10th of January' after which I plan to file an eviction.

I am on the west coast, but have a SFH in Pigtown and believe I am finally at the point of needing someone "in town". 

It only takes a few minutes to comply, and this way, you don’t have to worry about any decision they finalize on later.

So, if you don't have time to do that, you can hire a PMC to do placement only, even an agent, but recommend YOU have final say on approving them.
