People are now locating their properties and trying to find people to manage or even if they have tenants, who is paying, who is not and finding the homes to be in sub par condition.

I found myself, trying to sell deals, not standing firm on the numbers.

Try checking each unit’s toilets and faucets for any drips or continuous running water.

The city just passed a very confusing zoning regulation restricting student housing to a specific area, and we're all trying to figure out what the fallout will be.

The client should not have to worry about whether the Qualified Intermediary is also "trying" to get paid on the back end at the expense of the clients' 1031 Exchange funds.  

I don’t expect they were trying to sell you something you don’t need.

I had a cost seg done on one of my homes and trying to get one done on another from this company that rob with bigger pockets had done a set on.Every time I email them it says there email doesn't exist and cannot get a response.

You could try posting in the BP classified section to see if any reach out.

You mentioned a career change, I think going into the trades like plumbing and electrical are great and you can make good money doing those, but I think you may be taking on too much by trying to do that right now.

I would give Prime Tracers a shot, they are pay as you go and you also get 100 free credits on sign up to try them out.
