Another way is to do a masterplan with various sections, single, paired, multi, etc. at different price points. 

I have come across a pair of 8-plex’s that, on the surface, appear like a good opportunity.

No serious professional is going to not want a free pair of legs bringing them deals!!

Can you do it in pairs over time or would they all need replacing soon to prevent tenants from having high utility bills?

It is no longer paired with podio

I am looking to hire a relation of a colleague i have in another business as a 'safe pair of hands' to check people in and out, manage keys, arrange cleaning and check for maintenance required but not to manage the finance or reservations.

You see these buildings on the interstates all the time, typically being transported in two pieces by a pair of semis. 

I will PM you with a pair of local appraisers.

If you can identify long term rentals that meet certain investment objectives that you think you can sell to an investor for a cut, then that is certainly one path.Our company does this all the time by finding the deals, locking them up, and pairing our equity with investor equity and or debt to accomplish the deal. 

However, we have since decided that it may make more sense to pair with an investor who will front the cash to rehab the units, separate the 4 of them, and sell them as townhomes.
