Hi John,The gents in the comments above said it all so nothing to add.Your heading caught my attention so I'll just touch on that briefly.After 10+ years in real estate and in various other investments, there is pretty much nothing that is "Hands off".Even turnkey real estate.You will need to be in sync with the turnkey providers property management company and they will still need to reach out to you from time to time to get certain approvals on maintenance items that arise, etc...The bigger your portfolio, the more "hands on" you will need to be IMO from an asset protection, tax planning and off course the often collaboration with the PM company.I've seen many investors get pissed off over the years because things aren't "100% hands off."

Reach out to someone like @Dave Foster for advice and guidance if you go forward with the 1031, he’s great and helped me with mine last year. 

After completing my first construction project, how can I collaborate with the bank to leverage funds for subsequent builds?

I'm contemplating the idea of pursuing a real estate agent's license as a way to contribute value in future collaborations. 

I'm well versed in commercial RE and some business sales but was wondering if there is any advice or specialized local RE professionals that might want to collaborate on the listings or marketing?

Quote from @Dave Foster: @Julie Garner, The house must be held with an investment intent in order to qualify for a 1031 exchange. 

More importantly, I think I work very hard to maintain a culture of accountability and collaboration, and providing janitorial services supports my objectives.

@Dave Foster How about if you buy a property as a second home to use as a short term rental, make some renovations, but then decide to sell it using a 1031 exchange to get another second home to use as a short term rental.
