Lastly, if any damage was compounded over the months while just sitting there unrepaired, you can expect the carrier/adjuster to likely reduce the payout. 

The thought process is that if I like the deal today, I may love it a few years down the road where I can refi (whether I cash out or not) under better terms to reduce debt service.I'm sure this is the kind of thing I could spend a lot of time trying to build in Excel -- am wondering if anyone can direct me to an existing tool that might help with this.

Hello, I am thinking about selling our Investment PropertyWorth $150,000Purchased for $105,000Down payment was $32000                               (Or we could keep renting it out rental profit is $305 a month(sellin...

.$300/yr), so if I sell in 3 years, the roof cost me $900 in reduced CF (not the same as paying in cash upfront). 

Page 19 (section 4.5.1) identifies how to reduce some capital costs for companies like Wal-Mart by locating DCFC within 300' of existing transformers.

My question is, if I harvest $50,000 in losses this year, will that loss reduce my income available to qualify for conventional mortgages?

Sooo, if you have $500k sitting around, you will be making 10% on your money however you can refi at a 70% loan ratio so will get you $14k to reinvest so therefore you need $50k to get 3 duplexes ($25k for the 1st, $25k for the 2nd, refi both at 70% and use to buy your 3rd) so in reality you should only need around $330k to make $50k BUT you now need to pay a note on those refi's so that will reduce the $50k to, I don't know, maybe $35k . 

This will help reduce problems.

I'm actually reducing a bit in this market.
