How to underwrite rent pricing relative to CapEx, Vacancy, and MaintenanceAnd potentially also how to blend all of the above into an IRR and NPV, which are not currently part of the calcs, and perhaps shouldn't be at the beginning stages, however basic perspective on those will focus people's perspective onto long-term ownership cost/benefit analysis.All of the above are just numbers, but each stands for something more than itself.

I do commercial real estate lending on larger properties and just today I was working on the same concept (blending three properties into one loan). it certainly gets done commercially I'm completely new to residential, but my guess is that you'd be able to find someone to do this.
