For example, Shoreline has an affordable housing component, as well as various setback requirements, and other development standards to follow. 

Folks buying SFR think buying a strip mall, appartment building, mobile home park is a buying the components task.  

This data will be used to prorate the purchase price based on the relative fair market value of each of the components.

Teaches a lot about what components of the home to look for

By forcing the appreciation with the value-add component, you aren't paying for someone else to have done the work. 

While I don't use that skill set exactly in my real estate business, it does provide me the ability to develop web sites and software for our business which is a key component. 

For newly constructed, purchased or renovated properties and also retroactive generally over the last 10 years, building components are properly classified into individual units of property and accurate recovery periods for computing depreciation deductions.

I no longer live in the area but plan to move back at some point and would be happy to assist with a virtual component, if possible.

If you can prove your allegations, it seems that you were negligently misled and relied on her misleading statements to your detriment. 

If it does not get enough airflow it will run hot which can shorten the lifespan of the component or even cause it to crack from too much heat.
