I checked out Tokeet but I dislike AirBNB even more for two reasons: time of payment and cancellation period so I would like another free or inexpensive software system similar to Tokeet but can not only accept multiple channels but will allow downloads from VRBO.Is there another VRBO out there and even if so what software can others suggest given the situations described.Thanks and I look forward to hearing from  you.

We wrote the seller a letter about the appraisal challenges (bank not lending above appraisal, and that other buyers would have the same hangups) and they accepted our offer at appraisal price of 170K.  

I offered 120, they now have an accepted offer of 180. 

the big issues there........ the government is corrupt as hell. especially in the muskegon heights area. my brother has had no end of trouble with these people. also, other areas of muskegon, such as the city, they hire out their inspections process to a place called safebuilt. these people are worse than the government over there. my brother sells a lot of his houses on land contract. these people simply refuse to accept this as a sale and call his houses rentals. they claim this gives them the right to issue him tickets for repairs needed because he is the " current owner of record". they use a portion of the government system that is outdated and has inaccurate records to claim he is the owner. consequently, he winds up in court all the time with new " violations" on these " rental houses" that he has full proof that he sold years ago. as of yet, he has be able to beat them in court just by proving that he no longer owns them, but he is going to court almost every week with them. i believe they hope he will just give up and pay the fines. that is not gonna happen with him......lol. but, just so you are informed, muskegon may appear to be a good place to invest, but you will have serious hurdles to jump over on a regular basis. 

Accepting any payment that reduces a sale price is a financing arrangement under Dodd-Frank.Your first one, have your attorney do it or at least review it before you execute anything.Good luck :)

Thanks for reading, Josh Hi Josh,The two options for you investing in real estate (active investing and passive investing through turnkey) do not have to be mutually exclusive.  

Combining a reverse exchange with repositioning a portfolio geographically and taking advantage of combining sec 1031 with your primary residence exclusion - There's some awesomely savvy moves you're contemplating.  

For exclusions to coverage, look at Schedule BII of the ALTA standard policy, what is not covered will be listed on that Schedule of Exclusions.

So instead I take a screen shot to show it was accepted.  

After the offer is accepted, submit the Purchase Agreement (drawn up by or at least reviewed by an attorney).
