I know your cost of living May be higher than mine was (I live in Virginia), but the skills you develop from this will be extremely useful in many ways. 

It's organized good, I do inspections, but my fear is the side hustle turns into hoarding.

You can organize your entries by unit, and it's all free to use.

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

I've watched some videos from BP but i'd like some recommended reading to educate myself in preparation and so i can start going to open houses and actually having an idea of what i'm looking at.3. i'm thinking about changing careers to either electrician or plumbing to get skills that may help me manage my properties or do house flips and value adds to my properties.

I agree with @Jamie Banks that, while it takes time, its best to develop these relationships organically.

It sounds like this team wasn't doing that, and therefore they weren't organized enough to serve you well.

What usually happens is that houses of cards fall, they just haven't been in the arena long enough to find out.I have seen seminars that might be similar to the Speed organization, heck, it might have been him, I don't remember.

I did a lot of repairs myself but also hired a few skilled contractors for things like electrical work and plumbing.

Moreover, I believe that those of us affected by this organization's actions deserve appropriate relief.Sincerely,MMThus far, I have made every attempt to resolve this situation as amicably as possible, but they have not and are being absolutely unreasonable, uncompromising, and ridiculous.
