Aloha @Ed, Unfortunately, can only have one ADU here in HI. 

You can sometimes get around it due to unique circumstances like job moved 50 miles away, relationship change (getting married/divorced), etc ,but if you have all of your life variables the same, it is just one year, and then you can buy another property.3) You can only have one 3.5% FHA loan at a time unless you have good reason to get another (see point 2 above).

Hi everyone, I have noticed that a lot of the meetups in my relative area (north of Atlanta), are at times and locations that unfortunately are not work schedule-friendly for me. 

Ah okay so it was clearly a legitimate circumstance.

In the next couple of years, we will probably look for management help.So unfortunately, we aren't much help with leads on good handymen - like you, we do everything we can by ourselves and then contract out HVAC, plumbing, etc. and since we are working on our first two flips now, we haven't had much experience with contractors yet.

I have been trying to get residential electrician to help out but there isn’t a lot in that town and some of them are hard to reach or don’t call back unfortunately.

My initial thoughts were that I was going to do a lot of the work myself but unfortunately that time commitment is not something I can take on anymore with my position at work.

I work with and represent alot of private/hard money lenders, and unfortunately I am seeing more and more stories of people saying they paid an application/lock fee of 5-15k and the "lender" simply ran off with their money. 

Unfortunately the educational opportunities near by are poor and we are planning to move to Lake Charles when my son starts school in about 6 years. 

So you will not have to scramble with a hard deadline, balloon payments... ect at the end of your fix and flip term, as I see many investors do unfortunately.
