It appears to hold much year round potential with the right tactics and tools.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

This area definitely gives you good weather year round, summertime gets hot so as long as you're getting systems serviced before then and then in the fall you're usually ok. 

If I were you keeping the property as 4 units and renting out bonus unit under the radar may be your best option especially if you plan to refi or do HELOC while occupying. 

Don, I'm going to sell this first round of builds.

It’s stable cashflow and long term appreciation and tons of accelerated bonus depreciation on taxes. like most anything in real estate it’s a long term play. 

In the future you could add in penalties for being late and possibly a bonus for being early.

As properties have begun to be paid off for me, that few hundred a month becomes a rounding error as real wealth and options become available to you. 

I'd love to connect, first round of drinks on me.

@Mike Levene First note, I agree with others saying cash flow is a bonus, though it depends on what stage of investing you're in.
