The reasoning, as I remember, was some combination of 1031 exchange, increasing ROE, and leverage.Does anyone have a good resource or explanation summarizing the logic?

We wanted come up with a way to combine them which is a gray are in this particular zoning area.  

Electric stove, dryers, water heaters, and high-efficiency Mitsubishi heat pumps.

They are wanting the utilities to be included, along with washer/dryer, however as stated in the listing, and repeated to them, the house is not furnished and only offers washer/dryer hookups. 

You have prepared financials, and can learn about the strategy and performance of the properties based on many years of combined knowledge that the syndication has, in this case Ashcroft.

@Robert Rixer, I don't know how creative these are, as many are common plays:Valet TrashFencing in first floor yardsProviding washer and dryers for added rentReserved, Covered parkingTech PackagesInternet and Cable contracts, with reimbursementsPayment Plan rents, with small service charge (i.e. bill 1/4 rent each week)Reserved Rental cabanas at poolPrivate pool party rental optionGolf Simulator in clubhouse - fee basedOn site, self serve car wash (quarter feeder style)Charged group fitness/personal training servicesGame room in clubhouse with monthly subscription for tenants (Xbox, Playstation, etc)Changing out high maintenance grass for astro turf or lower maintenance/lower water use shrubberyBut ultimately, I think a lot of NOI increases come from deep dive into understanding EVERY expense and finding ways to minimize them, and/or no outsource them.Train maintenance team on basic HVAC and appliance repairs (find way to get them licensed as needed)Buy paint sprayers for faster, easier turns versus having to hire a contract painter, and possibly repaint whole unit each timeStandardize all finishes, so you can buy in bulk, everything from hinges and door knobs to cabinets, paint colors, and light fixtures.Potentially get leasing people onto lower base salary with higher bonus potentialBulk/bundled insurance across portfolio (even better at scale is to self insure)Regularly test sprinkler systems for leaks.Non-NOI, but benefit to you: partner with insurance agency to get referral kickbacks from your tenant base for renter insurance.  

My free mentor has been worth more to me than all the other stuff I bought - combined.
