This is one of the key components I have learned from developers 30 to 40 years into the business versus my 14 is to assess what it is you are doing, timeline and risk to get to the return you want, and then decide if it makes sense to take on the risk or structure an exit a different way ( or not do the deal at all in any way,shape,or form and move to the next property).  

One of those games is to dial up your depreciation by breaking out certain components like appliances, carpets, concrete etc.

The key component is the title.

with total disregard to the individuals acumen to real estate or financial condition or abilities which as we know is a huge component.. some do quite well paying for these expensive courses and its just like the 1 million member BP club..

It's really misleading and possibly detrimental to new investors.

well price is one component and interest rates are another.. 

But if you are improving any structural components at the property, you will need an engineers stamp on plans as well.

Account Closed, There's another component to your question that is critical. 

The issue I'm having with this new entity is the operations components exceed my scope of knowledge.

In addition to the educational components you mentioned, I suggest you network with like-minded investors locally to you and in the areas where you plan to invest.
