I thought maybe since I had the funds and time might as well get it out of the way and maybe get a part time assistant job or something.

Maybe look at ways to get her an assistant so she can grow her business.

I am thinking about reaching out to a construction company or even a handyman to be a mentor or take apprenticeship/assistant (I have seen some companies and handyman working on the weekends) so that I can learn the basics.

Eventually looking into renting out the entire property and moving into a new home.Can someone assist with the process of converting the garage into a rental unit and how to go about getting the permits for it.

We spend 4-5 hours a week managing the building (much more with turnovers). 

You don't need a license to sell anything that you own personally, only when assisting someone else in buying or selling.

Could park those on the open ground, but no climate control...also a big thing for people with extra $$$ to spend storing forever.Know thy customer!

Crazy starting out to spend money for someone to do that small amount of upkeep.

If you need any assistance (for example, if she refuses and prefers cash), I am more than happy to help.

Questions, that I feel are better answered by a local professional.I would humbly like to request a recommendation for a good (patient) buyer's agent, that would assist in guiding me through the specifics of the Eugene real estate market and help my wife and I find a home that is a sound long-term investment.
