While I would gladly perform maintenance on someone else's property, I only want to manage (as a landlord) my own properties. 

I'll reach out via pm to send you to some education links.1031 is a federal statute so it is performed the same in all states. 

But if my system is to exercise daily, then I increase my chances of happiness regardless of the outcome. 

Are you visiting your rental and performing scheduled maintenance and repairs, or are you cutting that down to a minimum?

Our contract is very generic, some crap they printed off the internet but it does say if they don’t perform I can terminate.

I have stopped investing in the USA and started investing internationally, but everyone single one of my properties performs.

The attorney is requesting payment for a title search she performed.

Additionally, when you look back at the hopefully deeper recession in 2009/10, multifamily was the top performing asset class (maybe self storage, but that was not a widely recognized investment class at the time, per my research). 

@Michael NevarezNot sure where you are located but in Florida, pulling a permit for construction work performed by others is punishable as a misdemeanor.

They need to know my plans to sell, rent and if I plan to repair or replace the siding, and perform any additional renovations, etc. before they send me estimates.
