The Team: I’m currently working on putting my team together and here’s where my inexperience makes me nervous.

Like I said in my original post, my property manager suggested I do what you suggested, but due to my inexperience I decided to separately bill. 

Plus contractors will see your inexperience and may take advantage.        

We plan to get started with investment properties (a duplex to start), but we're hesitant to try a 1031 exchange since that seems a little risky given the tight time-lines and more importantly our complete inexperience with the process.I've reached out to a tax accountant I've worked with before, but it's tax season and he can't get me in until after April 15th. 

I’m new in experience but have been educating and establishing my business for the last 3 years my partner and I purchased and own a rental property and are shopping for the next.

@Remi Oguntoye, I would strongly reconsider using this as a rental property and self managing it from a distance for a couple reasons:1) Inexperience as a landlord.

if you're spending all this time saving you're wasting a lot of time you could be gaining in experience from investing?

Many will not feel comfortable with sending you business due to your inexperience - learn to live with it - everybody is new and unproven at some point. 

I am sure that my multi-family in-experience is absolutely beeming off the screen right now, which is why we are partnering up with more experienced investors for our first deal or two.  

Point of me saying all this is with what I purchased it for and planned to do with it I knew I would have a healthy margin no matter what I found that a home inspection and my inexperience missed (like bat collony in the attic, termite damage, or water damage...all found and resolved).
