So a friend mine was approached to sell his auto body business along with the property and building.

Instead of getting up on the toilet, turning around to face forward (putting 100% of body weight on one side of the toilet in the process), planting both feet on the seat, standing up, and squatting down (for #2 or #1), which will cause the bolts holding the toilet in place to come loose (our toilets are built to assume weight roughly evenly distributed on the seat).

But I’ll leave a unit empty before i just throw a body in there to generate income.

So I make over 150k in W2 income and should continue that for the foreseeable future.

She drives a 30 year old Camaro with body damage and bought another junker Camaro (worse than the first) via financing for her 16 year old child to drive. 

The kicker to that is he will have to deliver one month's rent to the court within +-3 days and of course he will notAt that point the appeal will be dismissed and you would have to file for the Writ of Possession for the Constable to come out and supervise you and your crew(yes you will need bodies to move out his stuff).  

We moved into one of our rentals and though we combined will make over $300k (w2 and rentals) in 2018, our current mortgage payment is <$800/mos.

I can definitely see why you guys are struggling financially even though you make over 6 figures. 

Asking the seller to find you a tenant probably won't go over well, and if they did, they'd probably put in the first warm body available.

Similarly you need other professionals, just not the same ones (or at the same rate) that syndicators will be paying (because dealing with securities is a specialized body of knowledge)
