Current SFH landlord, new to trying to expand and do a 1031 exchange

[Michael Fluder]

Hi all, I'm new here and trying to learn how to become an investor in multi-family property. My wife and I currently own a home in upstate NY that has tenants, and they are interested in purchasing it. I own a small handyman business and am willing to maintain and manage my own properties. 

I'm here to find out where the best area for me to invest in will be and how to do it (I'm north of Houston in Conroe, TX). Currently I see lots of properties that look good in College Station. Any tips appreciated and I look forward to learning more!
