The house I'm trying to compare to was built in 1935.

I just recently thought of this since literally in my neighborhood my exact home floor plan and layout just sold over 279,000 and another comparable sold 270,000. 

I think Tennessee is comparatively landlord friendly though.  

If so then that tax return is the tax payer for the property for 1031 purposes. 

Was thinking that if I'm going to get into the rental property investment field then I need a good way to compare best prices for handymen and contractors so that if anything happens to my rental properties then im ready to compare and contrast.

If your plan is to get involved in real estate, then you need to redevelop and fine tune your plan.You have no purpose, no end game, and no path to reach the aforementioned.Me?

Compare your answers. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

I try to pick up several properties in one particular location or properties that are within driving distances of each other then If I can I will buy one property for no other purpose than to cover the expense of using a PM in the area. 

More important to me is to see that people formulate a plan , invest with a purpose not just think real estate investing if something to lead you to easy street.
