True its not the Bay area prices but prices are up here also.David I was referring to more Rural Western PA not the philly / lehigh market.. did not mean to insinuate that was what your currently buying.  

@Caroline Gerardo in reference to noise area.

I figure credit check, personal reference, work check (pay stub).

Question 3: It states that the local has the ability to block it but what is the likelihood based on what is written in the law.I am sure that there are questions I forgot or didn't think to ask but would love feedback to vet the feasibility of this thought process.The new law can be found here for reference. 

I can refer you to a few property managers, certainly the one that I use for my properties. 

I see it now incorporates references and requirements to NSF International public health standards NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 60. or is this a buying opportunity to upgrade properties to meet modern Drinking water health standards.

I would only use a Licensed roofing contractor who can provide references to other flat rubber roofs they have installed.  

Since this is all new territory, it would be good to know where to find a company (perhaps smaller group to absorb the mentorship experience) that is willing to train.For reference, we are in the Metro Detroit area.All suggestions are appreciated!

It's strange to think that "re-finance" is referring to ANY finance method, not just an existing mortgage

One of those advantageous tax laws is bonus depreciation, also referred to as accelerated depreciation or first year depreciation.Bonus depreciation allows you to accelerate your depreciation by increasing the amount of depreciation that can be written off in the year that the asset is placed into service.
