It's slow out there for a lot of trades in SA right now and I'm not one to gatekeep.

Plus there was no code enforcement in 1966 nor computers.

I'm also fairly skilled in the trades so I know what to look for when it comes to certain things and I can do alot of things myself but time is usually hard to manage.

For example (I may have already mentioned before), Alltec software doesn't have remote access function so you will have to go to the office to log on to computer if there's any issue occurred after hour (you can get around this by doing remote access to your office computer but the new Windows 10 system makes it not so easy and I still haven't done it successfully...).

I actually partnered with a GC on this one and traded equity for them bringing some funds to the table but mostly bringing project in on time and on budget.

My brothers and I all went to Neshaminy.Totally random but, if you're looking for work and to learn more about the trades my brother is trying to hire a Plumber's apprentice right now (he's a master plumber).

If you are simply replacing physical time with mental energy worrying about your syndication investments, I would not say the trade off is worth it.

@Michael Bishay you're mistaken if you think buying S8 rentals will make your portfolio easier to manage and more profitable.You're just trading one set of problems for another.But, you probably won't heed this advice:(So, yes, seeing if/how any Class C tenant has trashed their current home, will give you an idea of if/how they will trash yours is a great screening tool.We've been doing this for almnost 2 decades.The COVID mainstreaming of Zoom has made it so much easier!

If after reading your operating agreement, you are still not clear on the procedures, a call to your attorney may help.Assuming the LLC operating agreement is unclear or silent on the issue, I would think a non-cash trade of shares for equity might avoid a taxable event, but am not clear. 

Please let me know which island and what trades you need and I may be able to provide you with some referrals.
