There is no point in doing a 1031 exchange if you expect a loss from the transaction.A 1031 is meant to defer your gain.There are numbers which you can analyze and stress which is not easy to analyze.It looks like you are stressed with this investment and I would sell.I personally, however, would look to make the improvement for $10,000 to get one of the other units up and running.

The agent will not be paying you/seller/buyer because the agent does not bring money to the seller/buyer in any fashion in a transaction (typical transactions), unless this agent is a partner to that person buying the property, or they are a principal to the property.Let me know if that makes sense.
