@Jeff Cua I've read a few and my far and away favorite is Nolo's book on taxes: https://store.nolo.com/product...It's a bit like a textbook but it's comprehensive and loaded with great, up-to-date information (and the tax law is in flux so up-to-date really matters)

I believe two years after I sold the building at age 41 the boiler finally got replaced because the new owner was dating a plumber who got her a new one at cost and did the installation for free.

another big "it depends" item is washer and dryer connections, not having that will make the property a very sub-par-dated property for example. at the end of the day, the biggest driver is:its rental income and cost of management and if tenants are good payerscost of maintenanceand in Texas (lots of places in Texas experience this), an appraisal district can torpedo local sales prices by harassing us very high values, making more owners want to sell and get the hell away from them.. many taxing authorities net more off an apartment property than some of the apartment owners around here... just saying that is a real factor you have to consider always but often over lookedand insurance, we got hurricanes really screwing us over on insurance, that will drive down values too
