@Thomas ORourke I would spend that $1,000 on a skip tracing service so you can get phone numbers of the people you have identified as potentially motivated sellers from your driving for dollars. 

I know that in order to expedite the learning curve and get traction, identifying a great mentor is critical. 

If you can identify compelling property in FL if might be easier to 1031 the capital over than to meet the MFJ IRC Sec 121 exclusion regarding the property (both you and your spouse would have to use the property as your primary residence for two years).$120k is your original purchase price, but likely not your adjusted tax basis. 

You should only be looking for an agent once you have identified a market and completed the research necessary to be committed to that area.

Well if there isn't a name or other identifying info, then there is only one thing to do which is 'dispose' of them.

Note--this quote will not include most of the above identified items as they generally are already there or already paid for with rebuilds.

@Cody Stegeman If he will pay you anything take it - seemingly your inspection identified an "older" water heater and you knew it would need to be replaced. 

There are quite a few restrictions with this - you have to identify the property you're exchanging to within 45 days or something like that.

They are saying no; however the property has been identified by multiple other sources as RM 3-7 and the duplex has been built since 1926. 

The key is comparing the different entities and identifying what fits your portfolio best.2.
