@Omar Fernandez - you can start by reaching out to some attorneys, NYC is an attorney city so you'll have to get an attorney involved (who usually orders the title search). 

Duluth's housing is incredibly diverse from a sub-market standpoint. 

So this involves hiring an architect draw up plans ($1,000 - 3,000 if I had to guess).  

These structures are significantly more complicated than a typical 1031 Exchange structure and there are inherent risks involved in the transaction, some of which are discussed below.

If an attorney needs to get involved i currently don't have one, can anyone recommend one in the Houston area if need be? 

Quote from @Logan Barwick: I Am looking at getting involved in rental properties and debating on which option would be best.

.✅ Stronger Tenant Relationships – Being involved directly allows you to build rapport with your tenants, which can lead to better communication and longer leases.Cons of Self-Managing❌ Time-Consuming – Dealing with maintenance requests, late-night emergencies, and tenant disputes can quickly become a second job.❌ Legal Risks – Chicago has strict landlord-tenant laws.

Oregon is a diverse real estate market with a lot to offer but not a lot of established property inventory for sale.

Are you guys still involved in it?

Anything that involves a load bearing wall will generally need an architect IME, but it can also be required (maybe indirectly) through the jurisdiction's building code/enforcement.Got it, thank you for lending your expertise!
