We would be so grateful for any input, experience, or recommendations from homeowners or agents regarding what would be the preferred choice for 1) attracting rental guests in the short term, 2) retaining value for resale and not looking dated in 10 years, 3) protecting ourselves from accidents.  

However, based on my extensive experience and observation in the field, I believe there are strong reasons to maintain confidence in the stability of this market.

Probably a retainer basis. 

This depends on how the deal is structured and what rights and responsibilities you retain vs what you transfer to your current tenant.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Basically.....You invest the $50k-$60k up front for a single-family build or $100k for a duplex build.BTR company creates an entity together to own the asset.BTR company secures lending and builds out the asset over the next 6 months.Once it’s complete, BTR company refinance out and you get your $50k back + 16% at that point (or $100k + 16%)You retain 30% equity in the asset going forward (and therefore 30% of the cash flow or profit upon selling)Exit: 6-7 years once BTR company packages it and sells it to 4.5 Cap rate to Wallstreet. 

The sale would resume in 30 days or so but it would stall it for sure.I believe if the OP files a request for a TRO the Trustee will be named as the Defendant and will need to retain an attorney to respond. 

Am I being irrational to have him strip sand and retain?  

Would the recurring payments be if I charged a fixed rate retainer for my services each month instead of a % of monthly revenue? 

Cheapest paid pln would be $120 + Tax.SRFax ($36 a year) or MetroFax ($80)are better bet as you would be able to retain your fax number.
