Hi @Nico Grasso, yes rental relocation assistance is a core component of City of Portland residential rental regulations at this point.

I'm sure there are pertinent components as well but these 4 are definitely present and along with what @Jeffrey Donis mentioned.

Apart from unexpected reno costs, carrying costs, closing costs, etc.

Should an unexpected financial issue arise, guess who will be at the bottom of the list to pay that month. . .good ol' cousin Ryan.

See here for a definition but the TlDr is that a professional firm values each component of the building and land and helps you define fine grain depreciation schedules for each piece of the property.

If so, this is kind of the secret sauce that people don't usually share with others since the better your model, the better competitive advantage you have.In addition to the numbers, there is definitely an "art" component to note evaluation, which comes from experience and one's take on the current market.As far the raw data, you should be able to get that easily from tapes of notes for sale.

@Chris CurryWithout any properties in your portfolio currently, you may want to find a CPA that has a heavy focus on the educational component of tax strategies for new real estate investors.

But there's another component to the equation. 

So I decided to jump the hurdle and took some time to learn the commercial financing component so that I could move into larger multifamily properties.

@Scott Pollock it's actually within FHA acceptable guidelines to have a 2nd fha loan if your situation has changed unexpectedly as long as the new subject property is 100 miles away from your current fha primary home.
