Selling a property only to pay down another has no benefit financially.

My CPA told me that since my income is greater than $150,000 I would not benefit or be able to deduct the rental repairs and expenses on my taxes unless I form a LLC.

I bet if you said you had something to offer them to their personal benefit they’d reply back promptly

A contractor that you know and trust with no history of such things is another story, where I would probably just let the contractor know I'd made a note of it and was giving them the benefit of the doubt based on their clean history - further explaining to them that I had to take that action/stance as a gesture to the tenant, and that I value their service.

I am currently in the military and deployed looking to use my VA loan benefits to purchase a multi family home once I get back.

One benefit of using its site is the close relationship realtors have with the Multiple Listing System (MLS) that provides data feeds used by most sites on this list.

I'd really like for the both of us to benefit from the relationship, I'd prefer it that way honestly.

The mayor has been publicized before for having some properties in the midtown area and showing favoritism to that, but in this case I would benefit as a homeowner in the midtown area.  

I think it is very rare to do this kind of method for normal residential home because it costs a lot of money (hiring the experts) the benefit simply does not cover the cost.

Which they're probably not going to do, unless there is a benefit...or at least no detriment...to them.
