I have two Federal Pacific breaker panels that need to be swapped out for safe modern panels in a rental property near UC, and a few extra circuits added. 

Feel free to send me a colleague request and we can swap contact info to further the discussion.

Since your partner doesn't want to exchange, then you may have to consider a "drop and swap" transaction, where you deed the property out from the partnership/LLC and into tenant in common ownership.

-Barter or post on Craigslist a swap.

Back in August when I really got frustrated and asked for the update, owner partner Paul and Ross personally asked me to switch properties saying that county is giving them hard time and the triplex that they made me swap as per them already had two tenants in there (long term) and the one unit was to be rehabbed with a time line of 8-10 days and they assured all this in a detailed email.

These are, in order, how much exposure you want to swap out of Vallejo into something else.

The downside--when something is wrong with an order it's on you to swap it out, however, this has been rare.  

By then I should know if the tenant I inherate is a good fit for my property (he had lived there for 20 years) and either ask him to swap units or renovate his unit while he lives there.

Yeah, I've often thought that some sort of trading platform that allows owners to swap time in their vacation rentals for time in other owner's vacation rentals would be nice. 

You can still, if you swap your equity around)...
