First categories involve payment/termination disputes between two parties (e.g. owner v. architect firm, architect v. architect firm, etc.).

I know I need for firm up a strategy and market to focus on firstI hope this post isn't all over the place and I really appreciate the time people spend reading posts like this.

Seems like there must be a way to turn their lousy attitude to your advantage.Give 'em hell.

@Lance LeeIf you’re looking for a good agent - connect with Jared Franczak with royal lepage.I used to be licensed and worked with him at a firm that specialized in working with investors, plus he is one himself.

Meaning how can I find good contractors, good lenders, good law firms and so on?

I'd prefer my property manager bring in a new tenant, but he seems to have a firm hand so hopefully the current tenant isn't going to cause me a real headache.LINK DELETED BECAUSE IT HAD ADDRESS IN TITLE - Wish BP would let me delete the post and start over (sigh...).Details: Just under 1k sq foot, current lease is $900 a month, last year's taxes were about $64 per month. 

So additional 800-1200 for those so we have the permission to use and modify them We had a non compete contract we had to enforce was told by 2 law firms it would cost about $7500 to get a injunction and about 45 days to do it.The other side had lots of money and thought they could make it to expensive for us to continue $28,500 in attorney fees and 9 months we won.

Unless you want to start your own management company from the ground up I think it's a losing proposition on your pay per hour, legal liability, and overall stress.Find a reputable property management firm before going any further.

Not only are individuals having issues, but larger property management firms are struggling with the labor shortage as well.

I've seen this scenario play out where the architectural plans and filing/permitting was including within the Contractor's cost (and not a Design-Build firm) and you'll always have a go-between and will never have access to the "architect".
