@Kevin SiAs real estate investors, we constantly weigh the pros and cons of different investment strategies, including the decision between a larger or smaller down payment on rental properties (I prefer smaller anytime I can).

I am concerned though about vacancies and potential issues with finding decent property management.

Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.

The larger the portfolio the easier it is to have someone else manage it for you.

The biggest concern for me because I know that area well was foundation issues.

We had no issues with them thankfully. 

That would cover any screwups, but also incentivize the title company to remedy the situation without making a claim, since it appears to be their oversight that caused the issue in the first place.

I have however run into issues like transfers being rejected by Baseline (from one of my own accounts in a traditional bank) when all the information is correct.

Your biggest risk if you execute the plan will be running out of money in retirement, either due to natural longevity and/or later health issues draining your resources.
