I plan on renting a unit and probably getting a roommate or two in my unit to maximize cash flow early on.

RBTR is his primary strategy in DFW and can probably share a few tips/recommendations with you. 

However, I’d probably sell and do a 1031 exchange before 27.5 years due to the depreciation write off for the purchase going away.

It was probably close to zero per month.

It's probably just worth walking away on this one unless you got a really good price.

Because they know you'll probably never make a claim, or your claim won't qualify. 

Still lots of work to do on the house and the “book” I still have to figure out what to do for it (paper/digital/both), and a few more things I probably am not yet aware of … reading on this forum and asking questions sure has helped out a lot.

Probably this. california department of Real estate has already nailed two agents for raising rents above price gouging thresholds.. 10k fine plus who knows what kind of license discipline.

You probably also find a huge difference between SFR, Small multi and large multifamily.

If you math it out it is probably unlikely that you will be cash flowing on a property that you are using 100% leverage on from a turnkey company.
