More like a 101 of taxation: you had a reserve of losses -> it helps when you have profits.And a tax geek addendum:I also do not see a direct link to cost segregation benefits here.

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and my FIRE number isn't $15k a month (with kid costs it is but I wouldn't be retiring early/quitting W2 job with child costs).I don't have much feedback on Michigan but I do agree with affordability with California and Florida and insurance costs, people may be moving to the Midwest. 

You are correct in your assumption that it will impact how low they can go on the down payment, though, b/c commissions will need to be paid out of closing costs. 

Ofcourse my mistakes would cost me if done all my self as well.So i am thinking that by going through paid consulting, it saves me from mistakes and time.

I point it out on flips or old houses, talk about how much it costs, and I don't think I've ever had a buyer give a flip (pun intended).The other trick for a buyer's agent is 90% of the time, they'll never know who the appraiser is or when the appraiser is scheduled or what their contact info is. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

They sell a 4 unit for close to 1 million dollars close to Jacksonville. they want 250k or 300k down. there's no upside. you can google the properties on biggerpockets and there isn't a lot of satisfaction. it's a slow return and get rich slow strategy. our focus is always as a builder to add maximum value, lower cost as low as possible, build and rent and build and sell the same product and raise prices to help investors out. we have a large market share and large purchasing power in our market in columbus ohio. the one strategy I never liked about turnkey new build brokerage companies like them and build2rent or others is they don't really build close to urban centers and most are single family homes. the numbers don't work on single family homes. if single family was the way to go more companies would be doing it. but by far the most common type of new construction built is three story walk up apartments.

In the future, I’ll factor in contractor costs more.

For calculating IRR, use the total cost of acquisition—this would be the mortgage balance plus the 50% buyout equity and any closing costs.Regarding refinancing, assuming the loan under the Garn-St.

How are you planning to fund the rehab costs?
