I hope we can potentially do future business together!

The PM business has been good to me and my family.

True business man!

Positive cash flow is what's going to accelerate your REI business.  

His business is in Birmingham, but he and his family live here.

May not be your cup of tea but they are cost efficient and they work to add passive income at a fraction of the cost to build a SFH.There are a few "Tiny Home" builders in Tampa and Manatee doing a ton of business.  

Do you get any volume discounts or better service due to the volume of your business from the current providers, that might be something to consider. not sure if that is even a thing for lawyers though.

I do pretty much like more SD than SA, but as you asked, the money that I have to invest it aint that much, goes between 30-40K to start and will be definitely for long term, as I said, I´m a beginner in this business in the US, as commons says I´m at the baby steps stage right now.

I could not find e1031xchange as a business entity in the State of New York (https://apps.dos.ny.gov/public...).

And all of that with training wheels, it is very hard to screw it up on a consequential scale.Because it is 2025 and RE is not cheap anymore I will encourage you to also look into building a business on the side.
