This is personal opinion and could be wrong so use at your own risk.1) Yes, it is possible to find deals where all of the cash flow for 5 years (and often more) is offset by depreciation. 

My opinion is that these Class C properties are better for locals who are on site and can check on the properties and do some of their own repairs.

If they really are, you should ask for copies of city permits and proof passed inspection.Fitzgerald-Marygrove Neighborhood average property value is only $87,549, making it a Class C-Minus Neighborhood (in our opinion).

Everyone else is typically just happy to have something there for them.I'm sure others have differing opinions but this has worked great for me.

The 3rd thing that has reshaped my entire opinion of the tax advantages of real estate, is seeing my 88 grandfather holding five quite valuable illiquid properties, long story short it’s a mess, it’s causing family drama, he is in zero shape physically or mentally to manage them, the all have cap-ex needs, again these were amazing buy’s literally multiple properties he bought for under 50k that are now worth over a million but there is probably a time and a place for owning real estate, so I don’t really have a need to own more than maybe a few properties into retirement.

In Nancy’s opinion, this care model, combined with the social capital of a cohousing community when properly supported with trained staff can result in quality care.

So, there is a conflict with blindly using their opinion to decide what work should be done.

If you want a second opinion check credit karma, ask your credit card or your bank.

Are you able to gather feedback from your showings to gauge public opinion? 

Many new investors don’t have accountants, and for those without one, separating accounts can be a simple way to stay disciplined with cash flow.In my opinion, if money is constantly going in and out of just one account without categorization or oversight, it’s easy for things to spiral and hurt your business.
