I was to start assembling a team together and am looking for any recommendations of contractors that will offer a little bit more hand-holding, as I am still fairly new to this process. 

However, if you inherit it through her estate, you receive a stepped-up basis to its fair market value at that time, reducing tax liability upon sale.Gifting it now has no immediate tax consequences unless its value exceeds the $18,000 annual gift tax exclusion (2024).

Seems like a pretty fair recommendation to me.

It still shocks me how many agents aren't aware of things like the fair notice ordinance.  

Hello, My wife and I are new to Bigger Pockets and are fairly novice real estate investors in Northern Maryland.

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level). 

The rental income for this 25-unit property was about $48,000 per month and the condition of the property was a little less than fair.

It depends on who you're hiring but that seems fairly standard.  

. - Staying compliant with various tenant laws and fair housing policies is also a big factor I hear a lot.

I just sat through a free webinar they put on and it was fairly informative for being free.
