Many guys out there that you can hire for specific work such as electrician, plumbing, sheet rock, paint etc

I'm a former builder who got rocked pretty good in 2008 then took a job out of state and just recently moved back to the gulf coast.

I think there is a lot more multifamily in Little Rock, but if you want to stay in Benton you might have better luck trying to network to find off market deals.  

I usually look in the area just north-east of downtown LA (the region spanning Eagle Rock, Glassell Park, Montecito Heights, all the way down to City Terrace).  

Rock on Joe, that's truly inspiring and as @Mike Dymski said, we have some things in common =)

Thanks BP community you guys rock

Both A and B are multi family apartment buildings.The properties are worth around 1.5-2m.I wish to keep A but sell B; preferably in a tax-deferred manner.A is in an area that has been rezoned and I wish to tear down and rebuild the property as the current building is old and I can get more than 4x the square footage because of the new zoning changes.Is it possible to sell B and use all of the proceeds to fund the development of A in a tax-deferred manner?

Does anyone have a recommendation to a rock star or two that I can connect with?
