So now you put in a minimal down payment of say 5 or 10% of the whole deal and your reward comes on delivery of results.  

Only you know how often you were hearing about Vegas back in the day.As for the statement about the music stopping and out of state investors over-running the city and fighting for a limited number of residents, I prefer this term to tenants, without understanding the sheer size of the city, the demographics, the dynamics that drive not only the rental but also the investment demand and the delivery of those services, this is just a statement thrown out with no context.  

I also put a number on the door to the basement, so it was labeled for packages and on box I put info for pkg delivery location. 

If I'm starting a new 6 month campaign, should I shoot for delivery at a particular time of the month (early/mid/late)?

Please let me know if they are reasonable.Insured Closing Letter = $125Tax Certification = $20Electronic Retrieval Fee = $50Notary Fee = $45Overnight Delivery Fee = $12Incoming Wire Fee = $22Good Standing Cert for PA LLC = $40Lender's Title insurance = $50Total Settlement company fees = $364Owner's title insurance = $1154 (Sale Rate - for purchase price of $105,000)Please let me know if these charges are reasonable?

The contract purchase price being over market may just do it.Another possibility, and you may want to run this past a lawyer first: set it up so you have to make mortgage payments some ridiculous way, like via hand delivery to his home either in person or by courier (you said he was out of state right?)

We told her upon delivery of the portable heaters, and one more time the heaters draw too much power to be on the same circuit and should be spread through the house.Any advice on our responsibility as a landlord, and how this may play out if we go to small claims court?

It could invalidate the sale & delivery of the deed.

In addition, they act as my on-call agent for guests issues or if I need a repairman supervised or a delivery accepted. 

You select an Accommodator BEFORE the purchase or replacement, because if you take delivery of the sales proceeds, you just killed the 1031.
