Looking for opinions and input since I’m relatively inexperienced.

What else can i ask just to prevent potential issues with a tenant.  

Seems like your biggest issue is rent - what is market rent and what prevents you from achieving that rent?

Title companies have been reluctant to participate, however, we just closed a loan in Texas where the borrower signed remotely using a remote notarizatiion service and the title company accepted this and issue a title policy. 2.

I'd love to have a service that does all the heavy lifting stuff for me at a decent price and also one that I can be relatively assured is backed or supported by an attorney.  

If you're total taxable gain is relatively small, then it is easier to justify paying the tax and avoiding the headache. 

Common examples: Is there a maintenance charge with every call/issue? 

Most times, when someone is thinking about a flip their goal and expectation is for a relatively quick sale.

So, NO, he can't be the broker related to the transaction of your 401k. 

If the issue is the Seller knowing your fee we are able to provide them a Seller side only Settlement Statement.
