I love the idea of creating jobs for people and allowing them to earn a living.

However, if you are planning to come back the extra cash now will not offset the potential hurdle when you return.I had a similar situation with my employer 2 decades ago. 

If you're selling that $500k rental but identify 15 replacements worth a total of $3 mil, you gotta find that extra $2.35 mil somewhere to keep the 1031 valid.Most people stick to the 3-prop rule, some use the 200% rule, but you have to be verrry careful with that 95% exception because, unless you have tons of value to play with or have a bunch of extra cash you're willing to throw into the deal, you could be on the hook for a very big sum.

I fix up the property and sell it for 380kHow are we supposed to split the earning? 

Develop a relationship, see if they’re savvy, and if they know real estate most high quality lenders will spend extra time with you making sure that you are organized in the best way possible for them to give you money.

I started my investment journey about 6 months ago and now I net an extra $1500 a month!

What the hourly rate for extras / changes would be. 

You do need a real estate license to receive/earn real estate commissions.

AS thats en extra expense that could eat into your investment

He will have all your earnings going forward together.
