We have classes in addition that we offer. 

Duplex have different zoning that may permit additional units.

Additionally, I'm still not convinced that you are not associated with this new management company. 

We look at lenders (so long as they lend in the asset class you are considering) as an additional line of due diligence (they deeply care about their money and they are likely more sophisticated than you are).
