It's like you said - You have to be focused and not dally.In your case it's a trade off - spending a couple of years for a partial tax benefit vs working a little harder but getting full relief now with the 1031. 

Hi @Sebastian Castro, I feel your pain here. 

But if you can "make it go away" mentally, and move on with your project and life without paying a baseless claim out of fear that something might happen you are ahead.Alternatively, as painful as it is, you are a point of playing chicken with the contractor and his lawyers

As painful as it is, if I were you I probably would step in at this point to ensure things don't drag out any longer.

As I'm surrounding myself more and more with learning resources, it's a great relief to hear that starting out is as simple (at a high level) as finding a great broker and manager and proceeding from there.

That’s a relief.

It seems like the biggest pain point with 2018 is the blower test, AKA insulation is a big change.

I personally have just realized that I'm at a point where I need to get real systems in place as I am finally expanding and hiring help so growing pains... but it's a good problem to have.

There's great potential there, but the tenant laws can be a pain and the taxes are high.

Figured she would be all over that rent relief program as it's free money for her and I still get full rent.. win win.
