Which evaluation rules do you use to quickly assess a multi-family's (2-4 units) suitability for a closer look?

The one who gives you the most suitable answers that you feel comfortable with is your new purchasing manager. 

The properties are in a popular vacation town in Northern Michigan but are more suitable for long term rentals vs. vacation rentals.  

My primary goal would be to try to find a suitable 1031 replacement within the guidelines, however, I had another thought...I happen to have gotten extremely lucky and purchased a $9.5M property (Property B) in Oct of 2017, and my cost segregation study was just completed and identified $2.4M of 5 and 15 year property that can qualify as bonus depreciation on last years tax return (which I have not yet filed).   

Since I am not familiar with the NY area, I was hoping to find him an attorney to speak to regarding his needs, which I believe are as follows;- Determine if he should put these properties in 1 or 2 separate LLCs- Determine which type of LLC would suit his needs best- Start said LLC/s in NY (and handle the publication requirements)- Quit claim the deed from his name to his LLC- Steer him right in determining other needs in terms of opening a business bank account, adjust insurance policies, etcDoes anyone know a suitable candidate to help my father out in this endeavor? 

If anyone has any referrals, experiences to share (positive or negative), or think you are a suitable tax professional yourself, please feel free to reach out to me!

Works great but you will weed through 90 people before you get a suitable applicant 

So he said he hound a property in Plainfiled IL that was suitable for a Lease to Own.

And you are correct, you always have to watch out that you are getting advice that is suitable for your particular situation. 

Would any Houstonians out there give us recommendations on which ones would be the most suitable for us noobs to get involved with?
