@Don KonipolSince we're sitting in front of computers and not having a conversation, I can't tell:1.

@Max Emory would you accept a profit and loss statement from an old desktop for taxes instead of requiring someone to pay for QuickBooks?

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.

In terms of timeline, don't plan for it to be a fast process, your rockstar local loan officer will not be processing the assumption, it'll be a group of call center people reading scripts from a computer screen.

Quote from @Sushma Annaiah: As of now started looking at sfh and looking for cash flow .i will be taking mortgage and also planning to go with property management SFH + cash flow + property management will not compute in many areas right now, especially if you want something that is in great shape with no cap ex.

For that they want a local specialist and not a computer because it's an emotional decision for them.

It is imperative that you compute your potential cash flow in light of these numbers.

However, I also do like doing the analysis on my properties so I suppose it is "fun" for me, at least as much as fun as a computer-based task could be.

When you get flooring there's people sitting at the computers in that specific area, so that's usually where you make large orders.
