What if you show the place and sign a lease with the new tenant, and on their move in day you find the the old tenant has decided to stay another month?

I’m thinking about providing a cleaning service and lawn care service with no choice, to ensure the property stays up to par.

You don't want to help clients stay tight with the 1031 regs. 

Same GC for Houston deals but feel I need a project manager to keep tabs on him to be sure this gets done correctly and stays on time here. 

@Ben Kirchner All I can say is to stay away from 2-10 Home Warranty group...they are terrible too. 

But this is the decision I've made and that's the path I'm staying on.

You'll maintain your tax free gain if you stay under the 3yr mark. 

Make sure to do a thorough market demand study and stay away from small towns that are not growing or producing jobs.

We don't have their new address but do have the one address they just stayed at for one month while they were supposedly waiting for their new rental and we also have the forwarding address they first gave for their parents home (their parents also resided in our rental with them and are being named in our claim as well).The total damages are high and it's a big house (almost 4k sqft & in excellent condition before the moved in).So long story, we need help on what to do about serving them with claims papers if they now live on base and we don't have their new address?

Wholesaling can be a great business if you're in the right market, and if you commit to it, invest a lot of time and resources and stay with it.
