I've wondered if for example it even makes sense on a NNN retail building.Maybe if your CPA can do it cheap as part of their tax return service fee for you.Hopefully just your normal straight line depreciation is the way to go, but check with your CPA and see if they think it is worthwhile for you.   

Some will even allow AirDNA projections (usually with 25-30% down) as the rental income for DSCR (debt service coverage ratio)  for investment properties as qualifying income. 

Please note my services are free because my my business is still new, but by generating leads could really help me get my foot in the door. 

I would not offer internet.

Seems to me this would be a forum for doing so and you could be providing a valuable service to other investors.  

I'm based in California but looking at nearby states for rental opportunities.

Regarding the options, there really is a lot that goes into the terms so just some feedback based on what you've said so far.  1.

I commonly keep 3 homes purchased, 1 in which we continuously are remodeling 2 in line for renovation.This 17 door possibility would be to renovate as tenants move-out type bases.

Would he have offered you a discount On his services if there was a downturn in the market and you lost money?

Just be aware of the added services/costs, such as yearly inspection services, repairs, etc.
