Are there separate utility meters for both properties? 

My objective is to reinvest to a more expensive property in Texas utilizing a 1031 exchange.

If there are even any other new people to the industry, lets talk!

One issue with RV's, for example, is do you remove the gray and blackwater tanks and make utility connections permanent? 

All units are 2x2 with a basement that can be utilized as an additional bedroom + a 1 car garage.

The first step, I would recommend, is looking for a local real estate group to attend to network and learn more about the industry and your local market (unless you are looking outside your market). 

Based on what I could see through the windows, there is some furniture in the house but I don't  think the utilities are turned on.

I have a buddy who has 3 subway shops those do well.. not sure what is worse dealing with minimum wage in in the food service industry or working with low end contractors pick your poison

You have to be committed to being better than everyone else in your industry every step of the way.

Larger Industrial property is a fairly hot area right now due to the e-commerce boom so you might find a bank that's interested.
