As previously mentioned, stay away from the companies with big advertisements and huge staffs.

IN our business you need good accounting ( I have had full time CPA on staff for 25 years) My banks love her  they don't even call me anymore ..

Next, after evaluating the types of homes that they manage and their leasing team/staff... call them about their PM services for investors.

. most will not as long as the 'assigns' clause is properly executed    . some lenders/title companies may require a limited power of attny executed by owner and wholesaler .3.

Len Howell is the executive Vice President and could offer some insight and possibly help you. 

I would complete the rehab during the lease using HELOC on another property then execute purchase.

Is it going to be difficult to execute in practice without income history?

To actually protect yourself, you would need an executed agreement from one or all of the heirs.  

Requesting: Any tips/tricks, leads, contacts, advice...etc. on successfully executing the 1031 and facing the challenges of their time constraints. 

@Rein Garcia My business is run almost exclusively with VA's...support staff is local just because it makes sense as she improves her skill-set and grows with the company into other positions...programmers, coders, mapping solutions, website design, all branding and design work is completed by VA's...
