If we built a spreadsheet of the overall responses from the Mafia and how many were veiled attempts at business, I would bet it is close to 80 percent.I know I am not the only one annoyed every day, so please post your thoughts here so BiggerPockets can review them.I do know someone who bought multiple properties with a former Mafia member and the properties are still performing so this isn't a referenda on how good the agents are.

You are asking legal questions and your best bet would be a quick consultation with a knowledgeable real estate attorney in your state.

Should I hold onto as much of it as I can and bet on a combo of cash flow and appreciation for the long term?

You bet--i sent you a connect request w/my info if needed--best

I would not, however, bet on shipping rates staying this low over the long term.They have all the plumbing and electrical built into a centerpiece.This the sort of problem you'll face.  

CAR forms and attorneys are going to be your best bet.
