I have investing in small business that sometimes involve a real estate component, but I have never done a straight real estate deal.  

If you average out the cost of replacements and the service life on the components you come up with something like this.  

One is that when you walk into a house you need to know what the major components to look for are.

I'm looking for someone who could offer all 4 components I need to buy on a large scale:1.

Having a family is a definite detriment to your ability to invest in most relationships.

It was a basic model with low end quality components. 

So the interest and the fees should be reported, the principal component of the payments are not taxable,

Note that this condition does not require the loan to be fully amortizing, meaning that a balloon payment can be a component of a one-property exclusion loan.Second, the loan must have a fixed interest rate or an adjustable interest rate that remains fixed for at least five years.

Once the property is under contract I will have the property inspected to determine the age and condition of all major components and appliances.  

A home inspector is uniquely  trained in so many components of a home that a Section 8 inspector has NO CLUE about.
