Remember you will need your 3.5% FHA down payment and cash reserves for unexpected repairs/ vacancies.

Maintenance wise, less issues and easier to repair (component swap).

Are some experienced investors reading this and predicting failure due to an unexpected maintenance issue, or failure to manage my manager?

I do know a huge component of their business was the cost of water.

I agree each property will have components of different age, but doesn't their estimate assume the best case of brand new components with a full remaining life?

Most of the time they are also licensed and would be able to help you appreciate if whatever the opportunity is a good value. 5) A LOT of these TK providers sell OLD properties which will need a lot of major components replaced if your inspection doesn't reveal the replacement of those systems "sometimes you can win betting on borrowed time" 

I factor in the age of the components when I'm writing my offers.  

What are your value add component on this property?  

Hi BP,I read that you can depreciate more if you depreciate building and components separately, and that big buildings are often depreciated this way.
