I am now debating if I want to make an offer.

I'm in a similar situation as you in looking for properties and debating between what's "acceptable" for a beginner. 

Hello everyone,I am debating purchasing a single-family residence to rent out primarily for the tax deduction benefits. 

I'm again debating if this is the time to sell, as it doesn't fit my criteria anymore.

You convince folks from the heart and not through logic, debating, arguing, or attorneys - you can "win" with the latter, but it's so much more peaceful & simpler to engage them as a friend & neighbor. 

I’m not sure why that aspect is the most debated.

So, I am kind of debating if I should make the purchase.My goal is to purchase this condo and put it on rental as soon as I clear the mortgage.

@Ashish AcharyaGive me a shout post 4/15.Right now I generally get on BP in-between clients to de-stress a little.Not a good time to get into a debate and dive into code sections.Perhaps my most recent example was too hasty reviewing the regs right now...The "-3" reg defines structural components by reference to Treas Reg Sec 1.48-1.The term “structural components” includes such parts of a building as walls, partitions, floors, and ceilings, as well as any permanent coverings therefor such as paneling or tiling; windows and doors; all components (whether in, on, or adjacent to the building) of a central air conditioning or heating system, including motors, compressors, pipes and ducts; plumbing and plumbing fixtures, such as sinks and bathtubs; electric wiring and lighting fixtures; chimneys; stairs, escalators, and elevators, including all components thereof; sprinkler systems; fire escapes; and other components relating to the operation or maintenance of a building.We know that a building and building structures are a single unit of property.  

My primary question I seek to have answered by posting this post is fairly straight forward, yet I encourage debate concerning metrics and comparisons.  

I know it’s usually a debate whether or not to use them.
