If purchasing new real estate as part of your reinvestment, a cost segregation study can maximize depreciation deductions, offsetting future taxable income.For effective planning, assess how the sale price is allocated between real estate, tangible assets, and goodwill, as this determines the tax treatment.

I just purchased my first duplex (only SFHs in my portfolio so far) and it doesn't have the gas/water split.

Any advice or recommendations on where to purchase a long term property for rent are appreciated!

We've never used percentage-based criteria, like the 70% Rule, for purchases.

I'm now finally here in person, and have started to go view places in person with the intent of purchasing. 

First, congratulations on purchasing your first property together.

If you are looking to just calculate profitability, set how much profit you want to make then:ARV - Purchase Costs - Holding Costs - Selling Costs - Desired Profit - Rehab Budget (including contingency) = Maximum Allowable OfferIF you cannot calculate those numbers, a spreadsheet isn't going to help you. 

I would make sure a bundle of rights for ownership are available individually, per unit of course, then worry about warranty and purchase options.
