Any members available with referrals for qualified appraisers whom can service within the next 7 days?

Its trial and error unless you can get a referral from a trust worthy source.You can read reviews for cleaning companies.

In future, assuming the 1031 sticks around (I tend to believe it will), our plan is to roll over from one syndication deal into the next, via 1031. 

These come from referrals. 

I would appreciate if you can give me some contractors referral that are bang for the buck in my area.Thank you in advance!

High months and low months will tend to even out.

My wife wants to be one, but we don't know which website / area would be the best to go to for getting certified.2) when you bought your first rental(s), did you hire a management company immediately to tend to them, or did you manage them yourself?

Referrals are the best way to find a good attorney. 

;) I have couple of  good referrals as well.

Referrals are usually the best way to find contractors, but it seems like your agent really screwed you over here.
