On 5/15, which is after our official termination date of 5/14, I requested next steps on getting funds and clarification on outstanding accounting items.

If you don't hire a PM refer to a attorney.

This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive.

Maybe it might be different in your market, but at least here in CA, no real estate agent is going to refer  a client slow poke big bank unless it’s specialized bank offering a specific program that caters to the needs to the borrower.  

I think they might have been referring to the Passive Activity Loss (PAL) limitations.

When I refer to the MLS, I'm referring to the real estate agent generated list.

I just wanted to reach out and see if you could refer me to some property managers in Cleveland. 

Rent a storage unit in a nearby town, ship all items to storage unit, pay someone to then use the items to furnish the home or make a weekend trip 

I put my criteria clearly in the listing: 3x income over rent, 85% on-time payment history on credit report, and good references from past landlord.The biggest mistake you can make is taking the word of a current landlord.

Thank you for the reference.
