But so far so good, I'd say things have unfolded at about 80-90% of ideal expectations, which would be in line with my realistic expectations. 

Of course, ideally I'd like get any unit I can rented as fast as possible. 

When I was getting my mortgage, the scores my lender pulled matched the scores I got from myFICO.

I have had roommates my entire adult life, and while not the ideal circumstance, is just fine with me.

This would be a minimum if you want your spreadsheet to match your experience.We tracked our clients for some years on over a hundred rentals and generally they achieved 78% of what their spreadsheets said they should.   

Well address matches listing for their business, always a good start. 

In ideal case I would like to ask for more than the value as-is (30K ?)

I'll search further for 4 units to match the subject property.  

depends what the deal is and who the lender is and what your overall picture is.The deals I work on and lenders I deal with almost always REQUIRE a Brand new single purpose LLC. 

Ideally I would happily pay for tax planning and filing reviews if I could just pass them my TT file back and forth.I think I have correctly gone through a 1031 exchange in 2016.
