The contractor just wants clear instructions for bidding.  

I took a local online course which provided solid instruction.

Investor types need to get quit claim deed out of sight and mind, never use them without specific instruction from an attorney or title company, you may well be screwing up the chain of title.

He also gave a checklist of care instructions, which I gave to the tenants and attached to the lease.

I think we need a definitive goto thread that gives step by step instruction, in detail, of how to 1) Form a LLC properly. 2) Properly maintain that LLC on a yearly basis including filing of taxes, fees, etc.

Read below, follow the instructions, and you'll know exactly where to be looking for motivated sellers so you can put properties under contract in those areas.1.

I know this is an old thread but for anyone who may encounter this problem do yourself a favor and buy Advion Cockroach Bait Gel and follow the instructions carefully.

If your plan is to rent for the short term and then sell in the near future for capital gains, then it might work out well for you to keep the pool as long as you have clear instructions spelled out within your lease contract on how the pool will be maintained during the term of the lease.  

I instruct them to contact me via email.  

You bring a computer printer/copier and PRINTED instructions on how to apply to rent your house.
