Do you plan to manage it yourself or look for an operator?

I self manage my own rentals and I also operate a management company assisting other investors nearby. 

Most also rely on  beefed up rents and unrealistic operated expenses in their pro-formas to justify higher sale figures which appears to be the case here.

I expect to be at least $40k (for 2 units that have been in operation since 1999 so well established) below my 2019 numbers (so below numbers from before any COVID impacts).   

It's a 2/1 with balcony and we'll operate it as a STR.

Well, several months ago I joined a brokerage and naturally I want to comply with their ways of operating and generating business.

This is typically raised from investors and it's used to close on deals and to operate the asset(s) after closing. 

Negotiation Skills: Whether it’s negotiating leases, handling vendor contracts, or resolving disputes, strong negotiation skills can make a significant difference in operational efficiency and cost savings.In my experience, a property manager who excels in these areas not only helps protect your investment but also maximizes its profitability.

I think super detailed stuff like tax law is interesting, and I have plenty of experience with 1031s and SFR investing, but a Turnkey operator on a forum shouldn't be your tax advisor ;) Sorry to raise your hopes and then dash them - I will speak more carefully in future.All the best,Clayton
