That said, the regulatory climate here can be challenging if you're a landlord so it is crucial to know the laws inside and out. 

@Nelson Badillo not sure if this worth the shot but we had a similar issue in a duplex that I managed in the past.

If your software allows it and it can’t be turned off I ASSUME either it’s not an issue or everyone uses different software because it is a problem.

No major structural issues.

Fire ratings, STC ratings, sprinkler systems, air barrier testing, and costlier mechanical systems—much of it driven by regulatory changes—are all at all-time highs.

If you use Buildium, just be aware.Scott, thanks for the update and sorry that you are having these serious issues.

Nothing wrong with that.But with the way things are going, tighter rules, more disclosure requirements, and a shrinking “grey area”, getting licensed might be one of the smartest, most underrated moves for someone who wants to invest long-term.Not required.Not mandatory.Just smarter than people think.The regulatory climate is shifting.States like Pennsylvania and Oklahoma have recently added rules around wholesaling — clearer disclosures, limits on marketing, registration requirements, and tighter definitions of what counts as “broker activity.”Wholesaling isn’t dead.It’s just becoming more structured.And the more the rules tighten, the more valuable it is to operate on the right side of the line.Here’s the part nobody talks about: people with wholesaling skills make exceptional investment-focused agents.If you already know how to:find off-market dealsmarket for sellersevaluate opportunitieshold tough conversationssolve problemsnegotiate creativelyunderstand investor math…you’re already ahead of 90% of licensed agents.Most agents never learn any of that.When you combine those skills with a license, you don’t just “become an agent.”You become the kind of agent investors want to work with.That’s a completely different lane.And modern brokerages make it even more attractive.Some brokerages now offer:revenue sharestock rewardsinvestor-centric trainingnational deal networksThat wasn’t the case ten years ago.Today, those models give investor-minded agents long-term upside that goes beyond commissions.You don’t have to get dragged into retail work.Being licensed doesn’t mean running open houses or driving buyers around every weekend.You can stay laser-focused on investment activity and use your marketing skills intentionally.And the learning curve shrinks dramatically.Licensed or not, everyone eventually learns how deals actually get done.But licensed investors learn:fastercloser to the actionwithout the guessworkand inside a compliant frameworkProximity shortens the path.And proximity is exactly what a license gives you.I’m not saying everyone should get licensed.But for people who already understand how to find deals and talk to sellers, it might be one of the most overlooked ways to thrive — especially with the market shifting the way it is.Curious what others think:Did getting licensed help you move faster, or do you feel like staying unlicensed gave you more flexibility?

Besides, If you disclose my personal information on this forum in retaliation for my negative review, I will file a complaint with the appropriate financial regulatory authorities. 

The funds in this case were likely held in their individual name, and a death, bankruptcy, or other could affect the ability to close out and complete the 1031 exchange.The safety and protection of exchange funds should be of utmost importance, which is why you should always work with a qualified intermediary that has some sort of regulatory oversight; not just an internal audit or something, but real regulatory oversight with an outside, independent regulatory audit. 

Something behind the scenes must have changed or is being more strictly enforced.We just ran into the exact same issue on a duplex we recently closed in the city.
