So I've been hit with so many inspector, tenant, contractor, loan officer issues and roadblocks in the past couple months Im about to blow up.

Literally at my limit in dealing with incompetence.

How do you guys deal with this stress?? shooting range? quiet walks? punching walls? Kicking babies? (just kidding)

but really what do you guys do when its too much to handle. I'm at a point where everything I think of isn't going to work unless it's literally yelling at these people.

Walk, take a warm shower, meditate. Slow down, think things through, smile, listen, and speak calmly. Ask people for their help; when you start a conversation with "I need your help..." people tend to stop and listen to your needs, not just their own. Focus on the outcome you want and ask for what you need by prefacing a question with "What would it take...." Then listen to the other person and be open to negotiation. Aim for win-win.
