The diligence varies by county, but my experience has been that they check very thoroughly.

Smoking cigarettes is also quite legal, and also prohibited under the lease.I think your argument on unit count is a red herring here. 

I conducted title searches to confirm there are no liens and double-checked with the county to ensure there are no outstanding debts.

This is an important point and I have been in similar situations when we have moved into new counties (I am a PM so manage in about 8 different counties). 

Any suggestions would help please Colorado Springs has some weird regulations about this depending on which county it's located in so be sure to check in with the planning department in the specific county you're looking at.

For instance in the real world.. i bought 12 brand new constructions back in the Katrina days .. this was in the top county in Mississippi they ranged 150k to 225k each..

@Tony Vicente,Please post the City & State for the property, or the County & State if it is in unincorporated area.

I see you are over in Boca Raton I am over in Madeira Beach by Pinellas County. 

Check w/ the City / County to see what the permitting process is, and what if anything you would have to do regarding plumbing / electrical.

I just spent some time in your market, specifically out in Pasco county, and man is there some growth going on there locally!
