I want to 1031 into a 2-4 unit multifamily property (preferably 4) Ive been looking through the MLS constantly and not much seems to jump off the page at me.

RIght now all we are really doing is constantly furthering our education (podcasts,surfing MLS, books, forums etc).

I tried saving money to hire the cheaper VAs but it was always a constant turnover and instead of doing the work myself I found myself micromanaging the VA.

If you can even get on my schedule in the next 30 days (We are constantly booked solid at these prices). 

Hi, I am looking to rent my unit out but I will not be able to constantly run to showings.
