One of those games is to dial up your depreciation by breaking out certain components like appliances, carpets, concrete etc.

The home is an 1940's concrete structure elevated off ground by concrete blocks.  

The road block I am coming across.

Central city, a few blocks from the Mercedes Benz Superdome!

In admittedly oversimplified form:Say an identical 10-unit building a block away, where the units all rented for $1k/mo ($10k/mo or $120k/yr PGI) sold for $1M.

The ones that did were promptly hung up on and their number went to a blocked status. 

Want to finish the outside concrete patio as one last large project and be done with improvements.Hindsight: Should have went with a 3-4 unit place but just glad to get started.

If you let him walk out the door, you're creating room for someone else (who is better) to come walking in. wow been around the block but I don't think i have seen someone with your creds..

They are typically on for a few days and then off for a block of days. 

On these less concrete criteria, be careful that you can justify a decision.
