@Greg M. yeah totally, I am proceeding with caution and won't do anything until I get the proper advice from my attorney.

We are in the process of starting a few more businesses, only one of which has focus on real-estate, and would like to make sure our structures are in place properly, allowing us in the future the ability to sell or add partners or investors.Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Unless your property happens to already have the proper Zoning for a 3-Unit building, which is based on the Zoning designation and the size of your lot, then you would be very lucky! 

If you've done the proper research, then you know that KT is not ok in any circumstances.

In most cases a proper cleaning will likely do the trick.In regards to the proving it part, I agree with @Jill F & @ John Teachout - you do not need to prove it and smoking smells. 

This isn't for eviction purpose, this is for tax purposes so the state the property is in can properly tax you.  

The AC may also not be sized properly for the unit they are in.

Not sure what unit count you're considering but the nice thing about jumping above 4 units is the bank will put more weight on the performance of the property than your own personal finances. 

Or actual help with setting up the 1031 exchange.I know Midland IRA or Exeter 1031, both can act as 1031 custodians (or whatever the proper term is).
