The benefit here is two-fold: (a) it outlines all functions and components necessary to complete a site-built structure from the ground up; (b) you have a clear template for allocating responsibilities on rehabs.

As several people mentioned above, the only break ins I've had to deal with were people kicking in doors or breaking windows- locks are only one small component of security.

If you did a cost-segregation study, you could bonus depreciate the various components of the property like the fixtures and some improvements, etc. 

Or do they look at the housing component more?

The building/components getting depreciated over the longer life won't have much impact

If I were to stick in the area I'm already invested in (Indianapolis) then at least a few components of the team are already secured and trusted thankfully!

If you see a comp on mashvisor that shows similar 3/2 rents for $1000 a mo you can expect to rent 10-15% especially if you connect with agencies and travel nursing companies.

What’s not apparent at the moment, is how will other components of pricing react – namely, servicing values, MBS pricing, and spreads between mortgage rates and treasury rates.

The have a life span, are NOT recyclable only some components are and rest are wildly toxic for a looooooong time.

these are business's with real estate as a component.. just like those that lend money they are in the money lending business real estate is just one of the securities you use to create income via fee's and interest delta.I did a little business with the hotel folks  I think that the Patel's own about 50% of all 100 unit and under hotels in the US..
