Unfortunately, factors beyond our control often dictate these decisions.

Sellers are in complete control.  

I have 50+ units and have spent countless hours messing w appfolio, tenant cloud, etc etc especially to train assistant when havent had under control myself.all the while,I have been an excel whizz from my acctg days!

The trust will have its own EIN, and as a trustee, you control it.

I think the benefit of a mini split system over a central are the energy efficiency the offer, the individual control over zone cooling/heating, simpler maintenance, quite operation.In the end it comes down to what makes sense in your situation, but I will say that there is a lot of fear mongering among a lot of HVAC companies to push people to either central systems or if they do mini splits, then into the higher priced systems. 

Online devices that are my must haves.- Security cameras- Smart lock- Doorbell camera- Smart thermostat3.

Stay 100% in control of your property and only use professional mngt who screens tenants and uses licensed vendors.

I know platforms like Lead Sherpa and Launch Control are supposedly "TCPA compliant".

That's why people use them.....no loan, no foreclosure, control of the property and the equity.
