At some point, i want to come up with a basic and comprehensive list of what each (agent, Buyer, Seller) is entitled to do in terms of duties, responsabilities and obligations.

I think you might get more responses in those forums than here. 

Thanks for the response.

Our leases make it explicitly clear that the co-signer has no tenancy rights, only financial responsibility should the tenant default on the lease. 

If not, you have a responsibility to attempt to limit your damages, which means showing the place right away.

Thanks for your responses!

I would specify in the lease that tenant is responsible for snow removal and de-icing of stairs and maybe provide a bucket of salt to them. 

The search algorithms differ for each platform, but for Airbnb the main factors include response time to inquiries, instant book turned on, pricing, and reviews.As others have mentioned, I would look into other platforms/websites that focus on corporate rentals.

That would obviously cost you a lot more than your tax savings, and you would have to trust your 19 year old to be responsible with a huge sum of money.But to your actual question, your son would have to meet the 2 year ownership requirement in order to qualify for the capital gains exclusion on his portion of the house sale. 

I asked earlier if folks offer gifts to their tenants at the holidays or move in and I got mixed responses?
