Each tenant would have to accept responsibility and be trained.

What specific responsibilities does the previous manager have to ensure a smooth handover?

Quote from @NA NA: I'm sorry, but you have to accept responsibility for these decisions.

I want to slow my life down a bit and enjoy the fruits of my labors (I had cancer a few years ago and I acknowledge my time to enjoy life is finite).It occurred to me that I should just cash-out refinance my properties that are fully stabilized and that have significant equity, but that can also easily support the new debt incurred. 

Brokers are calling you back because of slow deal flow, and while everyone is fearful, as Buffet says, you need to be greedy.Ultimately, it's only time if you're ready.

Hey Henrry, I appreciate your response and I think setting up a website sounds like a great strategy that I never really thought about.

If you aren't sure who to choose from, ask each of them for a meeting/consultation to break down your goals, the market, and the acquisition process.Once you've selected one, have them draft the offer for you and take it from there.The best agents are responsive, knowledgeable on the local market, have a strong supporting team (i.e. lenders, title, inspectors, title, etc.), and know how to put together a deal.As @Michael K Gallagher mentioned, you'd want to clarify whether or not your agent is also representing the seller.

We know that we most likely will not get any responses, but let's see what happens! 

I'm overwhelmed with all the responses.
