I suggest the first property should be turnkey, the second should be a light rehab (finish basement, redo bathroom).

Principal changing his name (sometimes just slightly) to walk away from previous recordIMO a light search, like Google, is a good FIRST STEP in vetting a deal.  

Ask your contractor to walk the property with you if they're available during the showing, or at least send them the photos and information that you received from the wholesaler to get their opinion.In Pittsburgh a light or cosmetic renovation is about $20k, medium is $50k, and a full gut is $100k.

In light of that did the developers wind up getting a pretty decent deal out of this after they took a big risk on a property with crazy restrictive zoning and no clear path forward prior to purchase?

There's also free services for tenants to pay their rent online which include some light accounting features.

Fixing a leaky toilet, replacing a broken light fixture, etc. can create good will.

Fire pit with string lights is very popular.

Shedding more light on the topic of affordable housing in general...
