If they were perfectly functional and they have now been stripped can you hold them accountable for that? 

:D I plan to use all the proceeds from the sale for the next flip or two, I think 1031 exchange would be perfect to avoid / delay the capital taxes.

And that would be if they were working with a perfectly a clean slate.

I have perfect credit and over 50k in lines of credit that are free.

I'd love to tap into the knowledge and experiences of this community to not only help them find the perfect spot but to also utilize my home as a rental during the 6 week festival. 

Initially I thought it was the perfect house hack, given I currently pay $2300/month for a 1bed/1bath a few blocks away albeit in a brand new building.

I’m not sure you’ll ever find a perfect lease for either side :)

Trust me, we work with landlords and finding the perfect property manager can take time! 

You need: 1) a solid, foolproof way to estimate so you actually make money, 2) a comprehensive and exhaustive Scope Of Work, 3) a good looking Proposal, 4) a legal Contract for your state that protects both you and the customer, 5) Change orders that document both cost and time increases, 6) professional invoices and receipts, 7) all the appropriate lien releases etc.Actually knowing to be the perfect carpenter comes a distant second......

Obviously no one source is perfect.
