Long story short we I refused to let the condo association sign anything.

Most of those companies make money on every step of the transaction.

The IRS always views entity transfers like that as an opportunity to basis shift or a potential step transaction - either deliberately or accidental. 

You need to read the contract you signed with the builder . as you do you will realize it does 1 basic thing .

why would you ever want to sign a 35 or 36 month lease on residential properties?

Apparently when I signed up, it tried to take the profile picture from my Google account and use that.

But new engineers making 150+ right out of college with signing bonuses is normal...

My husband and I both know nothing about the best way to do this, but as rookies in real estate with only one property, I really want to do this first transaction right.

If you really want to pursue this I would attempt to get photos of the unit prior to when that tenant moved in (from the PM or the former owner - or at the very least a checklist the tenant signed noting any damages when they moved in). 

@Jim GoebelThank you very much for sharing your perspective, your thoughts are very useful for me, I have a little break from managing everyday issues, so I was thinking to make some decisions on who is responsible for  working fire detectors, what company to hire to check detectors and other safety issues, I am going to sign an addendum/reminder that people would not use basements as a bedroom if there are no 2 exits.
