Its like a mentor, but they provide a service. 

A JV property just sold, wanted to know if there is any service that i could use for holding onto my check towards the settlement of the property in lieu of a signed letter from the JV partner.Thank you all in advance

I only authorize my long-distance tenants to schedule it after I've personally ordered service, and I let the plumber/electrician/handyman etc., know that tenant cannot authorize work, only provide access, and that I will make myself available by phone/text/email, whatever they prefer, to discuss options while there to avoid future service calls if possible. 

W-9s are required for any service provider to determine if they should get a 1099 at the end of the year.Are you doing the work yourself?

We are advertising our rental property and just received an inquiry from someone with a service animal. 

@John Thedford  in our market any sub trade or service type business is flourishing..

Once again start talking to a realtor ahead of time to open your options up and start to get an idea of the market.I highly suggest you look for a realtor with the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) designation because they have taken extra courses to learn more about service members and more importantly the VA loan.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

I have not really heard any bad stories about, in fact it has been the opposite, apparently their property management company is great and their customer service is really good.

If she went to Assisted Living - I can help you but it's only KS Specific - each state is different but I'm guessing some of the guidelines carry across states in regards to how she will pay for the ALF and eligibility for Medicaid and Home and Community Based Services (which is a medicaid program that would help pay for ALF)Anyways in KS - in for someone to qualify for HCBS/Medicaid to help pay for their care either in the  home or assisted living - you need to have less than $2k in assets - and consistently less than $2k in the bank - there is also something called a 5 year lookback period - I do not 100% understand how the lookback period works but will soon enough.So - as far as the assets are concerned - if your friends mother has the house and any savings there is no way the govt will be paying for most of her stay in ALF - and I also think it would be difficult to house her in an ALF facility for $3k per month - can be done but tough - Due to no estate planning the family needs to decide on what they are going to do - they will either need to sell the house now and just pay her money down at the private pay rate in a facility until she "runs out of money" then apply for Medicaid and go from there or see if the strategy of renting the house with her present income will be enough to cover the facility she's staying at.Individually the systems are simple however there are so many moving parts to Medicaid HCBS I've discovered in my time as owner of a facility I can 100% understand the families frustrations.
