I have not seen it (doesn't mean it's not out there, I just haven't seen it), nor have I seen credible articles that lay out the history, much less the pattern of victories for Series LLC's. 

by not being stern and acting by the letter of the law, tenants will see you soft and further *attempt* to take advantage of you.Don't let them do that. once you put your foot down, they know they can't stretch things, and have to let "other" payments slide, but not the rent.Counter to intuition, this won't make them leave, it will make them respect you for enforcing the terms of the contract.FYI for those offended: I'm a hobby landlord turning pro. :) 

This particular property was in a location where inventory moves a little slower (but not too much slower) and the layout was flawed by design with few options to correct it.

The layout is definantly strange but hey they say 795 is fair and seem pretty confident about filling the units at that price. 

In single families I also want it to have enough space, good size rooms, and a decent layout.

You cant have construction drawings unless you have a civil engineering company with you and you cant have a engineering company with you unless you have a property under contract ..So, i would put that property under contract and then start engaging an architect to get a layout/construction drawings and once that is completed .. close on the land .. 

what if I don't change the layout of the property? 

If you want to be intellectually complete and steer away from motivated reasoning you'll need to lay out the counter positions to all of your assumptions. 

It is all going to depend on the building layout, etc.  

The layout of the home just shows one large space and does not divide the rooms.
