If you are going to expand your market or consider bigger properties, I suggest you investigate some multi-family training programs like that offered by @Gino Barbaro. 

This links to the system design.Here is my guess regarding the system size trending (I might be wrong) - Most of the developers I have got in touch with (at lease in CA) are still interested in 1-5 MW projects as more and more transmission project suitable lots were taken/investigated/too expensive to construct.

He is a family friend and we have even looked at some off market for sale by seller too that I identified stuff where he wouldn’t even earn a commission and he was happy to investigate for me - more of a looking out for me / family than counting a check (I am not looking for expensive real estate and he has owns the brokerage of 20+ agents, unfortunately my purchase isn’t much of a profit opportunity for the office but would probably be more embarrassing on him if we get something wrong  😂) Noted on the inspection though and I will stipulate it is a deal breaker on my side.

And you mentioned when you sent your letter.Looking it this as an investigator, not a lawyer:You may not have to proceed to trial, but you may have to get to discovery, predominantly to see how - and exactly when - you could have been served with the “NOTICE OF UPDATING MAILING ADDRESS FOR DEFENDANTS AND OBJECTION TO ANY CLAIM ON SECURITY DEPOSIT,” alleged to have been “furnished” to you on March 24, a Friday last year.

Start-up costs are also deductible but are amortized over 15 years with a limit of 5k.Start-up costs have strict rules and your case might not be the same as this one.Case Summary:Timeline line of eventsStarted investigating property: FebPut first contract (canceled): MayBought first property: December 30thWhether a taxpayer is engaged in a trade or business is determined using a facts and circumstances test under which courts have focused on the following three factors that indicate the existence of a trade or business:Whether the taxpayer undertook the activity intending to earn a profit;Whether the taxpayer is regularly and actively involved in the activity; andWhether the taxpayer's activity has actually commenced.On the basis investor testimony, we may assume that he undertook this activity to make a profit and that he regularly and actively engaged in it.

If the math won't work there, then the deal is probably not going to be worth a deeper investigation. 

Investigating 1st floor leak would be quite involved with potential sources being bathroom above but hard to say.

That might help clarify (for me anyway) all of the things to be researched and investigated before a potential tax sale bid.

So... before you spend a penny, investigate the local laws.
