This year, I'm hoping to finish up writing in the next 2 months (I'm tired of writing again, but have one more commitment to complete) and then not write anything new for at least another year or two. 

I called them today because I was tired of paying maintenance fees for my CA LLCs and wanted  To dissolve them.  

you are kind of dealing with three diffrent issues here, the thing about not being a legal three unit, super easy don't buy something that's not legal, and your agent really shouldn't be encouring you to break the law, the issues with properties being beat up, the vast majority of multi unit's that sell have some wear & tear that's often the reason for selling, being a tired landlord, if you want turn key, you are proably looking more single family homes or paying big dollars for a turn key multi if it even exists in your market, 3rd we can debate the pro's or con's of this this market but youve hired and agent and 99% of agents are going to tell you its a great time to buy, i'm usually more measured but that's because I have a deep psychological problem in which I care more about being intellectually honest than making money, most agent's however are not afflicted with this disease so your gonna have to make this decision for yourself before you hire any agent.

I'm tired of marketing and taking risks with virtual wholesale deals for 1-8k profits.

Listing in the spring brings more tire kickers versus listing in the fall, not necessarily better buyers.

I chalked the failure to being tired. 

Now we’re opening up every listing to any tire-kicker off the street who says they’re interested in it and letting them do a full inspection before even making an offer?

I am tired of sitting on the sidelines and being fearful of making the leap. 

By the time we messaged folks about their furniture, haggled over price, scheduled the pickup, rented a truck, etc, we were tired.

its a big pain in the butt to coordinate showings with tenants and you dont want to burn out or piss your tenants off by inconveniencing them with potential buyers who maybe just kicking tires..
