Ludlow is a special place and those who know about it and can get their hands on a property to STR are very lucky.

I have a lawyer friend that specializes in EB-5 investment she works for a international real estate developer.

In-house engineers: The best firms have specialized engineers on staff, not just hired contractors.

I converted my home to a rental a few years ago and I did not set up any special accounts- just a regular checking account.

If the repair process requires painting the whole thing, which it may need to look good- I'd optimistically put the lifespan of a professional/specialized 2-part (epoxy or urethane) tub/surround (or tile paint) etc- paint job, with above average prep work at ~3 years.. a "high quality" tub respray like this will cost just as much as a brand new tub, and touching up/blending a spot repair is specialized, expensive work as well. but yes I agree with the other replies either way -(unless, *perhaps* there is already easy access from behind etc to get to the repairs and inspect flooring etc without taking tub out)- it makes sense to rip it all out so you can address any potential water damage, and overall there is no reason the resulting new unit shouldn't cost aprox the same ballpark as the repairs .. and new of course will look much better with a much longer lifespan. 

You need to weigh out the costs, benefits, and drawbacks of the different scenarios such as keeping in your name, putting in LLC, forming a trust, etc.I would also suggest reviewing your leases, etc. with the CPA and Attorney (might have to be a different attorney that specializes in Real Estate).  

Find an Agent that specializes in investing that is willing to help walk through the process with you, and find an experienced lender that will help explain what will work for you and what you may still need.

Received a special warranty deed. 

In any case I'm looking for a recommendation of an attorney that specializes or has experience with tenant/landlord laws in PA.

The majority of inventory in Milwaukee that is listed on MLS as an "investor special" or with "value add" etc, typically does not have enough spread to exit a deal with no money down post refi.The common rule talked about with BRRRR is the 75% rule (you want your purchase + rehab costs to be 75% of the ARV).
