Currently, all I have been doing is gathering knowledge and trying to acquire my first property.So to the point of this post, I have read blogs like this one, posted by @Matt Fairclothhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/08/29...And this one by @Sharon Vornholthttp://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/01/21...Both of which talk about items that a Landlord and real estate business should have to look and act professional, which in turn could help you avoid tenant conflicts by appearing bigger than you are, thus them not testing you.My dilemma is at what point should I, a hopefully soon to be first time landlord, start looking at acquiring these items or anything else you think I should have?

It would appear from your post that 100% of the property that you are selling is your primary residence, so if this is the case, the sale will not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment since it was not held for rental, investment or use in a business.I second the comments above, if you can wait for an additional six (6) months and pass the 2 year mark, then you get $250,000 in tax free gain (as a single person).

Not long ago, we BOMBED the LA area with these pre-printed sticky notes that appeared to be hand-written

I've looked at Pensco (who appears the most expensive) to Entrust Group, IRA Services Trust and Equity Trust.thanks

Reserves would certainly be one aspect of this, or lines of credit against equity in other properties, or perhaps certain properties in your portfolio that are more liquid and/or earmarked to be the first to unwind (sell) to free up capital if unexpected events lead the total portfolio towards a possible crunch point.Overall it appears to me that zero/low cash flow properties may only offer better risk/reward in a larger portfolio or where cash can be found from elsewhere (salary etc) to guard against negative events.Thanks!

This random lawyer appears to be trying to set the eviction up so only Alice is being evicted and not Bob. 

I apologize if this was long winded, I do not want to appear as if I am pursing some half-baked idea with no substance behind it.

After reviewing the lease agreement and financials it appears that this tenant (employee of PM) is not being assessed late fees for partial rent payments.

In Huntsville, Alabama, the judge will typically give a move out date after the pay rent or quit notice period has expired and the tenant has appeared in court and lost their unlawful detainer(eviction) case.

After going to do another once over of the park, it seems like most of the issues appear to be from owner neglect and milking the property with little reinvestment.
