(c) Do any of you have some specific market considerations I should take into account OR that I should be researching (high taxes, pertinent rent laws, etc.)?

The deduction is optimized as values increase and can potentially offset the entire net investment (including down payment) for high wage earners.

Yes, I have been involved with several "mold" properties that still had high mold levels after remediation.  

Rates are high, usually in the high 8s or low 9s, and you may pay 2-4 points on the loan. 

A cash-out refinance provides stable financing but resets your mortgage term.

Each grouping had a common room (perhaps it was shared by multiple groupings ... this was a detail I missed) with a nurses/aid workers office.Central to the two sides of the complex were common facilities such as a dining hall, gym {perhaps a pool ... another detail I missed}, theatre &  games room.With one of the fastest growing groups in our society being single people, we are examining a related idea of a  complex / building providing a modest-sized 1-bdroom "apartment" with more semi-private and common amenities.When I read the title to your thread, I thought it was a project proposing to mix students and seniors into a single complex ... and came in thinking, this ought to be interesting :-) 

I highly recommend listing to @Dave Meyer's most recent on the market podcast! 

The investor must consider whether the potential property value increase or other benefits outweigh this loss. 

And that's how it can work to provide more then amply assignments, via public/private partnerships.

Outside of that, looking for value add opportunities that help maximize rents and understanding immediate needs to turn it over to the a rental (appliances, fixtures, paint, flooring, etc.).
