Highly desirable location, school district, is a "coveted location" by locals because most of the land is developed and it sits off an extremely accessible roadOur current rent: $2,500 + Utilities (the home could almost certainly rent for $3k).

I took a full video of the apartment upon move-in with myself and the tenant in the video and have numerous photos & videos of the condition of the apartment when vacated.I want to bill the tenants for the damages but want to make sure I follow the laws/procedures correctly. 

After that, I would like to flip and possibly manage multi-family homes, single family homes and apartments.

I am going to make an offer on a 24 unit apartment complex.

Short of that, you can be nice and give him 30 days notice of termination of work agreement and 30 days notice to apply for his apartment, the same as similarly situated tenants.

Particularly with regard to Multifamily/Apartments.

I’m interested to hear how those of you that are or have been learning about 1031 Exchange for multifamily apartments have gone about your education.

Being far from large cities means less access to property management companies, 24-plumbers, etc. 

I look forward to "marketing" the units, as I work in marketing for a living, but I have never marketed an apartment before.Any and all advice is welcome!!

The reason the first transaction is falling apart is surely the failed Phase 1.
