I would not entertain it- far better things to get a return on investment.1- You should not entertain shelling out cash to reduce a tenant's electric bill, no pay-off there.2.

You can also find public mortgage info on those comps and if they werent sold to another bank you should be able to find who holds the mortgage whom im guessing would do it again.Good luck.

Let’s assume that the economy continues down for the next few years (interest rates are up, Credit is limited compared to  previous 8 years, spending is reduced and overall asset values both financial and RE are down). 

Can we slow down the depreciation in the first 5 yrs to match closer to the cash flow deliver to optimize annual taxes on the this deal while reducing the recapture that will occur if sold within 5yrs?

If your end goal is to reduce your rent then you're meeting this goal.

I think that's due to increased public interest in your strategy and the strength of the DFW market lately.

Is there a database for the public to use?

Sources--water source, well or public, if well check it, is it working, water flow adequate, water quality, when last tested and results, is the water shared, age of pump, holding tank size, etc., sewage, sewer or septic, if septic, where is the tank and where is leach field, is the leach filed area soggy?
