The skills do not exist lol Where do I go to find plumbers/carpenters/electricians etc that can be "on call" for emergencies? 

We own a 4 unit we've just signed a purchase and sales agreement on to sell. is it too late to commit to a 1031 exchange?

Since you have no existing business, there really is no downside to moving to an area you know better.

I would use your existing network of agents or however you are findings leads.

I'm in negotiations right now to purchase an existing plumbing business, then I will add handymen, cleaners, and eventually an electrician.I listened to a presentation from a Property Manager in Chicago that had 20 maintenance technicians, a 6,000 ft. warehouse with a full-time manager, and I think three maintenance coordinators.

The general understanding is that the homebuyer must intend to occupy the home for at least a year.The VA IRRRL (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan) are used to refinance an existing VA loan at a lower interest rate. 

I've been looking in Greenville, SC and sadly i haven't been seeing any multi-family homes, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

-Purchase price is $475k-expected gross rents 4440/month if all are LTR, more for STR-Current rents per month: 1 is $850, 2 are STR, one owner occupied-Fair market rents per month: $1020-1200 as LTR-We have an existing relationship with an excellent professional property manager-We have excellent credit and high salaried  W2 income (attorney)Thankful for any advice you can offer!

What kind of solutions exist for this?

Is there a software or information bank you would like to see that currently does not exist and would aid in your real estate journey?
