I might say transition from self taught, to learning via others… being around a higher volume of deals and real estate transactions is a good next step.

Now at the age of 65 soon to be 66, I am transitioning my portfolio towards cash flow.I write all this at the risk of boring you 😀, to indicate if your are a long term investor looking for capital growth, Greenville is a great place to invest - on the I85 corridor smack dab between two economic powerhouse Charlotte and Atlanta.I own several small income properties in the Upstate.Happy to help educate you about the Greenville market.Hard to go wrong investing anywhere in the Carolinas.

I hope to transition away from my career in environmental science for my passion in real estate!

Work with your current PM to make it a smooth and amicable transition. 

And I don’t know if this will easily change in the future, because once a precedent has set it’s hard to transition the ADU value from current $20-50k to $200-400k, which is where it needs to be.I’ve been fortunate as I’ve done these projects on duplexes.

How do they make the transition from one PM to another seamless if and when a transition occurs? 

I've been saving for a while and would be able to afford a fairly new Ford Transit or Sprinter, although I would be spending a good portion of my life savings on this van.

We are wanting to transition these two properties into an LLC and are unsure about some of the specifics involved in doing so.  

@Josh Adams I also believe that multifamily is the way to go, for scale, and made the transition myself in 2018.

I'm also interested in 1 to 4 unit multi-families, possibly living in one of the units during the transition.
