For the tax side of things, I'd like to nominate you, add @Basit Siddiqi, and second @Ashish Acharya and @Michael Plaks (even though Michael and I disagree on interpretation of the code and regs 95% of the time!)

you can see who is in your zip code I believe.

What did you buy, what did you pay, and what zip code did you buy in if you don't mind me asking?

Tax code is very complex, he may be very good in general but not good with real estate issues.

Or worse, a government melt down...Invest in your home country where the laws, zoning ordinances, and building codes protect you, and use the profits to take vacations in foreign countries you want to visit.

Under rules contained in the current Internal Revenue Code, real property is not subject to depreciation recapture.

Specifically, zip code 45206?  

These are just a few.You local zoning codes may limit where you can build a duplex.

Did you look at some properties they manage and check county to see if they have code violationsYou cannot undo what has been done, but also you may want to look deeper into how to avoid this and what diligence you need to do to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
