We enlisted a local real estate attorney for contracting and title coverage.

It could be that simple, that the Broker you discussed your needs with recognized a conflict of interest, so enlisted a Broker without investors to compete with.   

There are requirements you must follow to have a successful 1031 exchange but they are fairly simple and the process can be stress-free is you enlist the help of a reliable and experienced Qualified Intermediary.

, some of those tenants will enlist the help of a realtor (especially if they are new to the area via job transfer).You can always try it yourself (I have great luck with Zillow/CL), and if you are not satisfied with the results, call a professional and see if your property is something they could help you with marketing.

Once tenants are in you can find one that’s the most responsible and enlist their help in keeping things running smoothly.

I am enlisting in the U.S.

My worry is that as the target properties scale in size, my ability to write a strong contract could falter due to my inexperience and I will potentially be hurting my clients' ability to snag a deal.Ultimately I plan to enlist the mentorship and help of more experienced commercial agents in my office when it comes down to writing a contract, but for now I wondered if the community has some general guidelines or advice on things such as:Inspection period: How long do you need for 5 unit, 10 unit, etc...?

Enlisted USAF guy here. 

I’m planning on enlisting a Relative to check in on the property from time to time and I’m hoping since it’s only for a few months that everything will run smoothly while we are away.

You would need to not only enlist the help of a Qualified Intermediary but also set up an arrangement with an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (EAT) and they will hold title to your new property while construction is completed.
