M-x goto-char RET <reported position> RET = ;; In this case 18720

Sends you directly to the end of your :PROPERT= IES: line that does not have an associated :END:.

You'll si= mply have to then add :END: after the appropriate properties, or remove the= :PROPERTIES: line that shouldn't be present (as the case may be).

M-x goto-char RET 18720 RET

will take you there, but it's probably at the very end of the buffer: s= earch backwards
for :PROPERTIES: and you should be able to find it (if your diagnosis is indeed correct).
