I want to exit as I don't get any personal use from the STR being 20 mins from home and would rather apply the capital to another opportunity in multifamily (LTR) or another STR in Hawaii where my brother is a broker and now manages STRs.

Check with your broker for guidance.

I am a real estate broker and property manager based in Clarksville, TN and I specialize in working with investors.

The state will get its pound of flesh and my liabilities were better managed by executing perfect permitted work and excellent insurance.I'd sincerely recommend having a savvy CPA, Lawyer & Insurance broker.

If you can find $1,500 insurance for a quad, we would all love to know that broker. 

I'd talk to brokers in your specific asset class and market.Do you already own similar assets?

How I have seen an hourly rate structure for a buyers agent work is like this: a non-refundable retainer is first paid to the broker. 

Novices can prosper in distressed properties given a strong support network of brokers, contractors, and financial advisors.

@Steve Meyers I’ve been running this with some success with a local cincinnati agent on 2+ units and nationally with a commercial broker for shopping centers.

He needs  good RE broker to give him price its worth ..
