I still shop/invite bids on my jobs just to keep everyone's pencil sharp (mine & theirs).

I'd also scan in a few highlights (w red pen) - underling your call to action, a quick note like, "looking forward to your call", and circle/star any important pain points - tired of dealing with non-responsive PMS or something like that. * Pain points - here are a few "hooks/pain points" that would cause me to look elsewhere: incompetent mgmt, non-responsive personnel, no help with coordinating "rent ready" process, don't send before an after photos for any contractor-related work, a very difficult to read monthly income statement and finally, non-accessible MGMT (don't return phone calls, forget to do things, etc.)Purchase some marketing books on Amazon - take a look at a few of Dan Kennedy's books.

I agree, I'm going to keep the bulk of my houses, but this one has just been a pain for some reason, and I'm ready to cash out and put the money into another house in a different area.

We insulate ceilings in older homes with basements if it were done previously and I would not paint over wires or pipes, we would insulate the pipes if it were in an unheated area as we are also in PA.; in our area most homes are on crawl spaces or slabs.New construction we only do sidewalls.

That would be a pain since the instruments are long term instruments.In some of the securities, FNMA/FMLC offer buybacks and payment guarantees which means sooner or later they do end up owning loans of lesser performance.

John Chapman I feel your pain.

So, it looks like its for sale, but in reality its already sold.Short sales are a pain even with cash.
