My gut reaction is fix it, but get more labor bids and stain the concrete in that room instead of replacing the floor.. 

Also looking to see their reaction to certain parts of Milwaukee county where I hold my rentals- some PM's prefer specific parts of town- takes a different management style depending on the tenant base. 

Without pushing any numbers around, my first reaction is that you may have pulled too much money out to have any positive cash flow from a rental.

My first reaction is why would you want to partner if you had enough funds to buy? 

Afterwards, I did some research and I saw the price for the thing was in the neighborhood of $100, and I had the same reaction as Ross.  

I get positive reactions for properties that I build (new or renovate). 

My first reaction was to tell him where he can go, but I wanted this deal and I had no other options.

When I first started the thread I was just learning about DST's and my knee jerk reaction was to 1031 my primary asset(37 unit apartment building in Hollywood, with very little debt) and dump all the appreciation into the DST, and walk away from toilets, trash, tenants. 

I intend to share this fact but I don't know what reaction I'll get. 

But you've already seen the reaction to that, which is that people (and companies) simply spread out.
