You must use the services of a qualified intermediary to handle the exchange and they must be in place prior to the closing of the sale. 

You can get service the same day by using what is called "nail and mail service." 

I've used a flat fee service but prefer to use a Realtor that charges 1% instead. 

So are amenities, public transportation, and the local schools on any rental property. 

I use Linnemann Realty for SFH for more than a year and very happy with their services.

Exception, on larger parks/nicer parks, you can afford to maybe higher out the property management services, it is becoming ever more popular, but it is still a long way off from the apartment world.

Also, if I can be of any service on existing properties I'd be happy to take a look for you.

Now that i am out of the military working in a new W2 career, i am trying to get back into the RE investing and actually understand how to invest more appropriately and correctly compared to just purchasing houses that i would like to live in...Currently i have about 80k saved up for my next investment deal and just feel like im coming up short on anything even coming close to 1% rule, so to see if there are ways to invest it, i figured i would ask the public how they would go about investing the money, because i am always up for learning something new.If possible, could you throw a quick example or maybe a short answered deal you could possibly go buy today in your own market to get an idea...I am currently searching up to 2hrs from the Tampa, FL area.

Create a service contract with her where tenants know to contact so and so as the third party maintenance liaison.  

I'll be retiring soon from the military and civil service.
