I enjoy teaching BP members how to use the system to save more money by using programs and taking advantage of loopholes.

I get the feeling you don't enjoy being a landlord, so I agree that you should consider selling and investing in something that doesn't include tenants and toilets.

@Kyle O'Donnell we have really enjoyed REsimpli. 

The issues really happen when it's just R.E. agents begging for some $, pitching "I can do that too" and in reality there in breach of NAR codes because they don't have proficiency and expertise in it what so ever.

A better option would be to partner with someone who can bring the capital needed in exchange for you contributing your time, labor/effort, and expertise.
