Other than that, just take your time and handle your due diligence.

If you want the best possible advice, talk to a CPA now and ask for the best way to handle it.

The problem is that the seller is represented by a Realtor, and I also am a Realtor.I just want to make sure that I don't get my self into any ethical issues with discussing the furnishings and then if I ask for repairs.My intentions were to let the listing agent know that I was going to call and discuss the contents of the home, and then based on those conversations ask for repairs, if any.Any insight on how best to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated.

This is if you don’t already have a property manager to handle these things.  

I had planned to call and speak with the person who handled my case to get more information but have been told to stop making my intention to move obvious.

Tenant handles repairs so the rental income is lower to compensate?

Will handle the second deal a bit differently for sure !

Our team will handle everything from here and you can always reach out to me if I can be of service.  

Even if you just pay a simple consult fee or fee for handling a one time transaction for you.  

It took me a bit to get the information from my brother, which handles most dealings of the property being sold.
