Our target is turn-key properties needing very minimal, if any, work.

Understand if it would be best to go for low rates to minimize long term fees or shoot for maximum cash flow, considering goals above, timing on rates, and the potential shift of housing prices through an election year and uncertain economy.

This defeats/minimizes the suggestion of benchmarking. 

Purchase price: $564,375 Cash invested: $123,887This home is a duplex with an extra suite in the building so 3 units in total and has a monthly cashflow of $1,250/mo (this does not include vacancy, repairs and maintenance which are all very minimal on this property).

It's the best way to slowly gain capital with minimal risk.  

Essentially, treated lumber should last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance as long as you stain it every few years and generally maintain it.

The warranty does expire on 10/2020, so I do plan on getting a technician out for a diagnostic. 2 weeks ago, my PM only sent out a technician to refill R410a, he did not even attempt to locate the leak saying it should be minimal considering only 2lbs.

Since I do not have much experience, preferably looking for a unit, $70K max, that needs minimal work.Thanks in advance!

One of the beauties of syndications is that the passive investor can get involved for a minimal amount of money (when compared to purchasing the property itself) and reap the benefits without needing to worry about management, financing etc.
