The staff may become anxious about their future when they learn about the potential sale.

I did not want to incur the cost but I figured...that maybe....just maybe....sometime in the near future us ADU home owners may be able to rent both units....like a duplex.At that point it will be worth it to let the tenets be responsible for their own bills.Not saying that other ways are bad...they are actually very cost effective if you are living there...but what about as you scale your business and move onto other properties.This of course if your city will allow you to rent both units...the city I am in is tough but things can change as more pressure is being put on affordable housing.Once again...not saying any way is right or wrong...I just did it this way for the reason I just mentioned.Thank you....

I haven't done a 1031 exchange, but may in the near future and the small amount of research I have done on it seems to indicate that some qualified intermediaries only do the intermediary task (hold your money while you close on the new deal) and some try to do other tasks as well, like facilitate you finding the next deal, etc. 

Fastest way to learn is by networking with people who are actively doing what you want to be doing in the future 

One thing we, as humans, are consistently bad at is predicting the future - especially when it comes to political and economic shifts. 

Lesson learned - do a better job screening your tenants...Consider investing in greener pastures (landlord-friendly states)

Most bookkeepers won’t work in it if you plan to outsource it in the future.

Great stuff - this type of regulation is somewhat counter-intuitively a lot better for investors than currently less regulated markets (where you don't know what could change dramatically in the future).
