you are kind of dealing with three diffrent issues here, the thing about not being a legal three unit, super easy don't buy something that's not legal, and your agent really shouldn't be encouring you to break the law, the issues with properties being beat up, the vast majority of multi unit's that sell have some wear & tear that's often the reason for selling, being a tired landlord, if you want turn key, you are proably looking more single family homes or paying big dollars for a turn key multi if it even exists in your market, 3rd we can debate the pro's or con's of this this market but youve hired and agent and 99% of agents are going to tell you its a great time to buy, i'm usually more measured but that's because I have a deep psychological problem in which I care more about being intellectually honest than making money, most agent's however are not afflicted with this disease so your gonna have to make this decision for yourself before you hire any agent.

I want to look for mentors and make professional connections to those in the industry to gain an intellectual advantage.

Probably more intellectually interesting to me given what I do for a living than tangible value.

But now we're starting to see the projects mature and sell or re-sign leases so it's an interesting intellectual exercise to proforma a tic as a medium hold defensive investing position at the end of a bull market. 

Service Animal Defined by Title II and Title III of the ADAA service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability.

Hoping someone is up for the intellectual challenge of this situation...I'd like to sell my 2 unit residential duplex (in my name) and 1031 into a property that's a bowling alley/bar/3BR apartment.

Hello BP intellectuals,Can anyone share their experience with seller financing?
