I keep wondering if this could be good for CLT (compact laminated timber) to accomplish the goal.

However it as well does not spread as quickly as covid-19- covid-19 fatality 3.5% (so far), so one could argue that this is all blown out of proportion for such a low level, granted again (and building anxiety over it won’t help) but these are numbers taken from around the world where health care systems (at the moment) are really able to (for the most part) help those affected and try to contain the virus overall.

@Chad Demoss: besides having to secure vacant properties against theft of furnace, HWH, copper and more, you also have to deal with a low-demographic tenant pool where  "pride in home" has been dis proportionally sucked out of them by the "system".

It would be less fuzzy to have it based on percent of median rent for the market, since older lower end units cost much more proportionally.

His 500K of 'gain' would consist of 200K of depreciation or 33% of sale price (that needs to be recaptured) and 300K or 50% of sale price of capital gains.So IF I am understanding right, 33% of the down payment would be taxed as 'recapture-able depreciation' and 50% of the down payment would be taxed at capital gains rate.Likewise, each and every payment would have those SAME proportions taxed that way on the PRINCIPAL PORTION only, and then the interest portion would just be taxed as ordinary income?

If you continue to invest energy in this in equal or greater proportion to what you invest sourcing new projects you'll have success in time. 

A toilet replacement costs the same in a $1,000,000 home as it does in a $100k home, some things are proportional like property management and taxes but many are not.

Some use a higher proportion for CapEx, some repairs in their underwriting.

Then a year later it sort of balloon out of proportion.

Spend an outsized proportion of time figuring out your why and then just execute relentlessly against that.
