With concrete, you just dig a little trench, put in some gravel, pound and level it out, and pour concrete on top of that.

The only way to do that is to pound it into people's heads.

Fire them and get a new one and stop pounding your head against the wall.  

I'll take an unwanted credit hit but the goal is to move forward making better decisions.

@John Horner  you guys have over reliance on attornies in your closing process.WE would be doing this work without an attorney.. actually our title company would handle it for us.. and if they got no where then we go to the state and pound on the door.. the state wants money you have the money.. they should or will take the money.you step in and do the leg work...

As a new investor, I would be interested in these "unwanted" properties.Thanks,Ed

If you eventually sell without a 1031 whether in CA or out they will get their pound of flesh :)
