You need to show your property and they need to accommodate as per the lease.As for the prospective tenant.

Forms are a distraction and merely serve to accommodate people who wish to make transactions fungible and commoditized.You can create a meaningful offer using just 7 or 8 line items.

Apparently the place they were living in was condemned & they were removed by the Sheriff because they refused to pay the rent.I cringed when she wanted us to find accommodation for them.As a favor we offered them a run down LTO we hadn't fixed yet, but they had cash down with some extra from the RE agent & social services.Its been a year & they have had a couple of issues with employment etc but have caught up & continue to direct deposit faithfully.They are very thankful & have since done a lot of nice renovation work to the home at their expense.I think we may have tenants for life!!

The 1031 is the tax advantaged way to "trade up" from several small properties into a larger property with the assistance of an accommodator.  

Any recommendations on firms that would be accommodating with such an arrangement--without burdensome monthly affiliation fees, required numbers of transactions, technology fees, phone answering? 

My questions are:What would be the best way to setup the entities to accommodate this?

If I need to answer any questions to help clarify or give more depth to this subject, I'd be happy to accommodate.

Should I accommodate him in the first place? 

We'll have accommodations and no debt and wont have a problem finding jobs in the meantime as we are both professionals.

The east coast and west coast and attorney's firms will typically be higher to accommodate the lack of scale.
