I assume if the QI is holding the note, this belongs to the taxpayer engaging in a 1031 exchange? 

With a HH, you learn how to analyze properties & markets, how to find an investor-friendly agent, how to spot value-add opportunities at properties, how to engage in a strong due diligence process, how to screen tenants, how to create a strong lease, how to manage the property, how to build a network of contractors, plumbers, electricians and other pros, how to manage the book keeping of the property, etc., etc., etc.

I don't think I've seen a single issue go unresolved.I have been here since 2017 and recently started engaging more as I became a more well rounded professional. 

Therefore, I figured I would come here to engage with professionals who actually do have a good amount of experience and/or success/failures in this area for any guidance, advice, etc. 

Remember, partner, knowledge is power, so keep learning, researching, and engaging with seasoned professionals in the industry.

For you personally with 2 rentals and w-2 income I would go ask the 100 questions you might have before you engage a CPA. 

I recommend getting advice from an attorney if you can't figure it out from the law.In Virginia there are specific steps to take during an eviction, if you engage in a "self-help" eviction by the state's definition you create all kinds of problems. 

We've engaged with multiple contractors in the past, and it has proven to be quite challenging up here.

I've been reading and keeping engaged in REI related subjects and interviewing and trying to generate my "POWER TEAM."

Be sure to check out some of our positive reviews as well, they are out there I swear it I've overseen 6,000 engagement in my career I haven't always gotten them right admittedly!
