These roles will have a variety of personalities and skill sets.

A chain reaction of selling as the trading algorithms feed into each other (why markets fall faster than they rise).

I am right now working through a home inspection sent to me on a home I am selling and am reminded that some of the things that inspectors put on reports reflect that they don’t really know the specialty trades ( inspectors are not electricians) and sometimes they just put stuff to earn their check.This may be an occasion for a second opinion from someone who actually knows what they are talking about

Hey, @Rachel Reese.I’m a newbie but, I like to respond to situations like yours because it makes me call on and employ the knowledge I’ve attained about REI, and the skills and abilities I’ll need to employ to close a deal myself.

I'd say it really depends on what the skills you already have are.

@Chase Guelette: There are a lot of property managers with good intentions, but poor organizational skills - so property owners still suffer.We just bought a competitor that was the epitomy of this issue. 

@Aimee Lawrence  Right now your best bet is someone in the construction trades as far as a renter .  

You gotta think the ones selling right now either have a loan maturing soon, have identified an "up-leg" they want to trade up for, or are spread to thin and need some sort of a liquidity event. 

If you are skilled and experienced in construction and doing the work yourself, that could help.
