They told me that both options would last around the same amount of time (apparently they have a 14 year lifespan on average nowadays) and they give a 10 year parts warranty, so might as well go with the cheaper option.

Apartment demand in the Phoenix area is high, the demand far exceeds supply at least for the product mix I have under management.

The average price per land for urban infill going 6-12 stories high on a higher density product is about 5 million an acre up to about 25 million an acre. downtown market premiums I've seen at the highest are 1200 a sq ft. in columbus you can get land about 1.5 million per acre downtown at best price, sells for about 600 a sq ft max, very little competition compared to miami. tampa I didn't really look at too much because miami has 22 zip codes that you can build at least 6 or 8 stories on and just a much better landscape than other markets. tampa is a little bit bigger than columbus but in my opinion more of a suburban market. miami is landlocked and very limited so everything is in redevelopment. both are amazing opportunities but the barrier to entry is much higher in Miami with the smallest plots of land infill going for at least 1.5 million I would say in areas like Wynwood Norte, Wynwood, etc. we looked all over but prefer east of 95 due to the condominium opportunities. multifamily is very strong in both markets but the condo premiums make it almost silly not to do one from the start and the use of deposits versus a single asset lease up and disposition is a longer sales cycle than the condo buildings being sold out prior to completion.

I would say take a deeper dive into the nearby product and see if there is a premium in rents for a duplex unit versus an apartment.

congrats your doing all the  vertical as well or going to sell lots to production guys. 

Regarding bookkeeping/accounting, 100% of the feedback I've gotten from REIs who have tried to have a VA help with their bookkeeping is they had no clue what they were doing and they caused more issues than before they were involved.There are great groups out there such as the "Bookkeepers for Real Estate Investors" Facebook group where VAs can get the education they need to be productive within REI bookkeeping.
