But the money needed to acquire another property or two will come much slower logically it seems as we would then have to save about $1,500 per month (would earmark money from the rest of the monthly rent for CapEx and other expenses) and it would take a while to get enough for a new down payment and also repairs costs for a new rental. 

Everything you've stated has all the earmarks of an Abandoned Lease.I would emphasize to you to find a copy of the Georgia Landlord - Tenant laws and read it and understand it before you get much farther into the process.  

I have heard that a personal checking accounts and personal credit cards could work as long as I keep them earmark them separately from my other accounts and I am very careful to always use the new accounts for our business expenses, but I'm not sure if that's true.Thanks in advance for any advice.

This money would be ear marked for the renovation and we should have $50k saved up between us from regular jobs by May for a down payment.

Congress just passed a bill that earmarks $25 billion dollars for rent relief to go to landlords.

I have access to a decent amount of capital that is currently earmarked for transitioning back to civilian life.

Having 2 people liveing off of cash flow from a portfolio is very possible but it would be nice to have some extra funds set aside to either do a few smaller deals or earmark for other non real estate related activities.Good Luck!

Located within waking distance to a suburban train stop (and downtown) and is perfectly earmarked as a spot where I think people can find nice AFFORDABLE housing.

I also have savings earmarked for a down payment, so I really want to get the ball rolling as a 1031 is something I think is attainable and lucrative.

I am not going to argue with the advice and while I may disagree with it, for all investors, the most important things you must have to survive in this game is a reliably steady income, earmarked money that they can risk in an investment (cash, SDIRA, HELOC - whatever you use as your capital)  and a high level assurance that you will get a return of your capital before you buy.I am a seasoned investor who has lost money on stupid investing.
