So we’re not talking a huge rental increase from renovation but still my preference to upgrade and update.

My preference is to partner on C+ or B apartment buildings. 

It is easier to start with SFR and duplex and make up your own mind as to your preferances.

In my mind, that puts the second option in front of the first, given that you might prefer the timing of the future sale of the property to be more in your control than your Lender's?

Each house has a separate deed, so can be sold separately, but I think I'd prefer to sell them together.

One of the reasons we were targeting cities was we would prefer a condo or apartment. 

Can anyone refer they're preferred CPA in Dallas that works closely with majority investors please :) and why they're recommended would be so helpful!!!!

Now that I’m back in management roles that fit my taste better, I’m actually considering continuing to work instead since I don’t hate my job anymore.

I know I want another property, preferably a multifamily is what I'm going for but I don't know my next step.

For double bore I either put a dummy plate over the unused bore or, as someone else mentioned, put a non-locking knob on one of them.I'm a huge fan of the Kwikset Smartlocks on individual unit doors but I prefer the Schlage keypad locks on common doors.
