I don't always answer the phone, but the voicemail also instructs them to check out the website for more information.

Now from what I can tell from this forum, Nolo's book for landlord taxes and the IRS instructions for 1099-misc (which is actually not very helpful), the 1099 my PM sends me should show "gross" rents in Box 1 - not 'net' rent.

After analysis by our RE agent his ARV (Sales Price) was right in line with ours.If you'd like me to send you the complete worksheet with instructions that we use for comp analysis please let me know.

Certainly you would not want your auto mechanic to write instructions on how to perform surgery for doctors, so why should a politician write any law regarding an industry they know nothing about!

As a 25 year old entrepreneur I am contemplating 2 options -1.

I am with @Jim K. in that I don't think there is any linear instruction manual here.

A trip to instruct on how to use the stove is probably best bet. 

My second is not the ideal and best choice but doable with the type of area you work with which is self installation.New hot water tanks are about $400-$900 depending on the need for the client plus any pipe adapters for the tank if needed as well as paste or tape for sealing the utility pipes. the package include instruction about installation which was not bad out of a 5 point scale of difficulties i give it a 2.5 or 3.
