Now, the President has contacted a retired CPA asking her if the two accounts can be merged into one and she said yes.I am one person fighting 10 others on this.

I'm wondering if one or two programs are regarded as more popular here at BP, and if there are any bad deals (overcharging, weak software, bad capabilities) to look out for.

Employed "full-time" but my work schedule affords me a significant number of days off, and I have the skills and capability of doing most renovations myself. 

My new job once I start will start up my savings once again.Basically the decision I’m fighting with in my head is 2 paths to buy my new house and keep my current:1- save up as much as I can from new job.

No online capability.

There is to be one more "workshop" before this bill goes into law, but the hotels have put a lot of money behind this in forms of campaign contribution and lobbying.Have other cities had success in fighting this?

Most employer plans are not self-directed and capable of investing in real estate.The deal you propose could work in a self-directed IRA. 

I looked for a software that was capable of handling these three things without a steep learning curve.

If that's above your current capability, team up with someone. 

Usually that 1 tenant is disappointed with how their own life has turned out or mad about something inside that they can't control and they will take it out on anyone that they can - their landlord, their waitress, kids, road rage, picking fights on the internet, etc. until they can address the source of their pain they will continue.
