For instance if you both as partners have the same tax id and later want to do a 1031 exchange then you are stuck using that partner or you have to pay taxes.

Difficult to finance - because the basis is typically higher than the value of the property and the value is in the business not ht property. for instance an 8 room house designed for a senior home is only at its best value when being used as a senior home collecting the monthly fees. where alternatively a house is a house rented or not.

I would be sure to have one for that long a lease to know what the penalty will be if they terminate early. for instance can you keep the deposit. 

We have such a diverse county, just not sure where to start.I'm just wondering how ppl analyze a market--for instance a certain DOM, year of properties built, type of housing... idk.
