After that, some say things like "we do quality work, blah, blah, blah" or " I do it right".This can be good and get to a meeting of the minds before wasting my time and theirs, they can also be saying that stuff saying they don't want the job, so I go for that, are you interested in taking the job as I need it?

If you care, your brother could send a letter to whatever 1031 Intermediary that was handling it, if you know, letting them know the 1031 never occurred...but no benefit to you guys and likely a waste of time.

I will up load the file it I can find it.

I wouldn't waste my time insisting they get it done before closing, but I would factor in the cost of eviction and fixing the unit up once you get possession.

I wouldn't even waste my time with a PM as it will be just as much work to manage a PM as to manage a single rent house.

I was doing a 1031 but ran into a time wasting seller when their property didn't appraise and that ended up failing.

Applying the tape takes about 7 seconds per envelope.7 seconds x 100 envelopes = 11.7 minutes wasted per 100 mailings.

Feels like a waste to have a seller with a free and clear home and WANTING to move somewhere else and me just walk away without an offer.

McDonalds sells a butt load of burgers, but they certainly aren't the best at making a burger.

Sorry but I hate wasting bandwidth with replies that ask to consult a lawyer.
