Good luck getting that info from the guys who don’t speak English who cut down your trees for $1200. lol Not many people follow rules on anything, so?

I asked our manager about reducing the rent but he said we are asking a fair amount and we are getting lots of interest but a lot of cancellations, no shows, or people who don’t follow through with applying or don’t meet minimum credit score.

Assuming your property is in Utah (like your profile indicates), here's the state law from a basic internet search:In Utah, a tenant who abandons a rental property without notice is liable for the lesser of the following: The rent remaining on the leaseThe rent plus the difference between the fair rental value and the agreed-upon rentThe cost to restore the property to its original conditionThe landlord can also remove the tenant's belongings and sell them if the tenant doesn't claim them within a reasonable time.

The 1031 must be a sale of investment property followed by the purchase of investment property. 

I plan on doing this model also so I would love to follow your journey on this investment and learn what obstacles you may deal with. 

I've told them exactly this, but they do not want to follow the standard procedure and instead pay me to "break" away.

And if they seem open to it be sure to follow up every two months or so.

Also, I recommend someone follow a company/person/business on social media for a few months and see if they would be a good fit.   

Important that you follow the necessary steps, deliver 5 day notice etc. 

From day one I treated my involvement in real estate as a real business.This means, I had an advertising budget, a lead generating and follow up process, a back end process and money source and above all an experienced mentor.
