Is there a pool in the complex?

As long as you have a good property manager in place, you're in a reasonably good neighborhood and you have solid tenants, you'll be fine.You could also pool your money and buy larger complexes.

Also pool removal.Am I getting myself into something too deep?

Their motivation isn't as high as you think either because they usually have such a large pool of buyers that your business isn't crucial to them.

We have an emergency fund, approx 3-6 times monthly rents built up for all units pooled.  

That is 5 years from now meaning I need to put aside 100/unit/month for that. 2018- Replace Back unit range quoted at 600.  2 years at 13/unit/monthEmergency Issues- 100/unit/month based off history, age of units, and tenant pool. 

Avoid swimming pools, trampolines and dangerous dog breeds.

@Sunny BurnsGood call!

I have thought about investing for a long time and I am ready to jump into the pool and play.

I don't know it too well, but per my research, those pockets have some cool mid-century homes with pools that are killing it on airbnb.
