Looking to get into larger, 20+ units now.

Larger homes provide more opportunity to make the home unique and capture larger families/groups to share the expenses of one home vs renting 2-3.

Slightly larger if space provides is fine too, just dont go smaller. 

Some larger plants along the sidewalk/under the windows and some big potted plants around the entrance would help also!   

I do have a handful of clients that have ended up using multiple CPAs just due to who their partners were on different deals, and even in those cases they almost always end up consolidating to a single CPA - taxes are enough of a headache without dealing with 3 different professionals who each only have a slice of the whole picture.If you are going to regularly be investing across the country, it doesn't hurt to work with a firm that has State and Local Tax (often referred to as "SALT") internal resources, though typically this does come from larger firms with larger fees. 

Nice one on the energy clause!

Our slow season is months with some of the best weather IMO and people come here to escape bad weather further North.Heated pools are great, but have you ever looked at the extra cost of energy and maintenance?

Making your unit ADA accessible can offer several benefits, including a larger tenant pool, potential for higher rents, and future-proofing against regulatory changes.

I don't see that you lost any money in the deal so I would just start over and not waste mental energy on the colossal errors of this former agent and team.

Unfortunately, the distress of the larger properties does not seem to be trickling down to the smaller apartments.
