Wondering what would be the best option to list a 1031 aside from the MLS.

I would like to know what my options are to make sure tenants in a duplex are actually paying their water bills.

I want to understand my possible options to get started with real estate. 1) Should I buy my first house first?

Is there one area that is typically viewed as the best option for house hacking? 

My goal is to at least have positive cash flow while I build equity in the investment property.Has anyone successfully purchased a buy & hold with this strategy?

What would be your advise being in this position?

They have now stopped repling to our commications since I told them that they would not have the option of extending their lease at the end of the six month term [option to extend was contingent on 6 on time monthly payments].

Lastly, when i try and call them to speak to my property manager 99% of the time I wind up having to submit a note in their portal and wait for a call back.As to to the new garage door that will be installed by the tenant, I wish they would be more involved, giving the tenant some options of companies to call, and to walk them through the repair process.Am i wrong in any of these thoughts or concerns about my current PM---or---do i need to let the property manager do their thing and learn to take a step back?

Yes its called a participation agreement but they all need to be in alignment and agreement.The other option is to raise is through syndication which gets a lot more expensive setup then each investor would be pari passu but would be easier for investors to agree to these terms than doing a participation agreement. 

Only option is to pursue them in court, which may cost more than you recover.3) Cleaning-If there was $10k in damages, who did the repairs?
