The house being sold, was last lived in on November 6, 2014 by us/the owner.  

Over the last 6 months we have been talking more and more about diversifying in real estate, and the safest and most obvious way for us to jump in is to access our equity through a refi.

The best situation is for the new management company to take over after the last rent collection period, even if it is before the 30 day notice period has ended.  

Next I want to find me a mentor that can teach me, and lastly, I want to make sure my finances are taking care of.  

I have about 2 years left on the lease, but I don't want to wait until the last minute, so I'm starting my research now.

I was busy last night when I answered, so let me clarify today.

Last year I only got 3 houses there.

Louis last year, so far so good.

One of the main reasons for me to 1031 exchange to a bigger building is that it is almost impossible to take all the equity out when my father's income has not been good enough the last few years.

The current business cannot be used to help value the rent because it has been a dead business for the last year or more and that is why the owner has closed it and put it up for sale.
