And so many exchanges start in one state and end in another these days that any good QI with a good national footprint should be able to serve you fine. 

Hello, I am currently serving active duty in the Navy and I am about to get out and begin my journey in real estate.

Their job is to serve you and take care of you- to protect you and do everything with their ethical/legal power to help you succeed and achieve YOUR goals.

A lot can happen in a year, and it doesn't serve tenants or landlords to lock someone into a long contract and then someone dies, or loses a job or starts selling meth or . . .

Default if your settlement date was Friday, and a termination was not served due to hoa contingency.Agent is more than likely owed the full commission at this point regardless of if you close or not, he or she is the procuring cause and the contract was executed.  

Assuming your biggest concern is federal taxation, and not state, you'd probably be better served by engaging an Enrolled Agent, particularly since your investment activity will be straddling at least two states (CA and TN).An EA can help you decide what entity structure best serves your investment goals, and can usually recommend great accounting software and bookkeeping resources.While I'm not an EA myself, I work closely with a great one that serves one of my overseas clients.

This was complete lack of communication inside their company and to me as the client they serve. 

The best part of all, I get to work for myself while providing to the community.I am thirty-one years old, and before all this, I've spent most of my career serving others.

I've found my own little niche that's served me well in Houston and I'm sticking to it :) 

The reality is that C or D class properties serve the sub prime tenant base.
