Any insights on economic development, population movement and jobs diversity for Mobile, AL will be much appreciated.I have already used city-data for these markets, but the information is dated.

If you have a more extensive full gut rehab you need drawings depicting the work to be performed and material specifications.

The brands I've been bid on have been:Eco WindowsCGI Sparta SeriesLawson IndustriesESWindowsAssuraAssura is from home depot, main advantage i've found is that they have a quick lead time of 4 weeks, compared to everyone else saying 6-8 weeks.CGI I heard its a reputable brand with a good warranty Lawson, cheapest quote but Im' hearing has a huge lead time now and they have been messing up peoples orders with sizes or specificationsES Windows, comes from Colombia and I heard spare parts, replacements and customer service is terribleEco, I haven't really heard much about but price seems close to what I'm being quoted for CGI Spartas Anybody on here with more experience that can help me narrow it down? 

Is there any minimum period of time the first replacement property  needs to be held before using in a 1031.   

Hi Davin,You will want to word it as a deposit instead of 1st or last month's rent, because a tenant could interpret that as they don't need to pay you last month's rent.Each state allows different deposits upfront, check in the area of your rental. 

4) Why was new HVAC NEEDED and why so much?

So lucky for you partnerships dont actually need to be filed with the state, they can even be oral in nature.

For analysis, you need to identify a market that interests you using tools like AirDNA, Mashvisor, Pricelabs, etc. 

Needed a place so we bought this property, updated it, then moved out after 2 years.

My rentals in BC require we pay interest on deposits, but they also have a calculator that will tell you how much as the rates change each year.
