@Craig J Chelette it's hard but not impossible :) I just closed on a duplex in June for 300k (in Provo) , put 10% down with no PMI.mortgage, taxes and insurance $16073% vacancy (vacancy is almost nonexistent in Provo but I wanted to be conservative) $695% repairs (bought the home with everything remodeled) $1158% cap ex $184I did not include PM because I will be managing it myself BUT every property from here on out that I analyze will include 9% PM.$50 other expenses (google fiber)gross monthly rent $2300 (1400 up and 900 down)cash flow $274.39 with a CoC return of 9.27%My realtor found it on KSL - it wasn't even listed on the MLS.  

Fourthly, the rate of return using conservative numbers is about $90K over 3 years which is just below 100%. 

Syndication A is 900 employee with 30 years track record, Syndication B is 1 year syndication graduated from Cardone school of institution run by three people, the Syndication A offering lets say conservative 10% IRR Class B Core ; syndication B like you offering value add somewhere in Dallasville Class C value-add promising 15%IRR.

So that's conservatively $2400-$3200/mo that someone else is paying for your home. 

Please keep in mind this is a very conservative interpretation of the law here (section 469).

Even if not maximizing depreciation, the conservative estimates provided by DIY tools justify the cost for properties under $1.2 million.Addressing common concerns regarding the DIY option: Ease of Use: Most software for DIY cost segregation studies is user-friendly, requiring minimal input beyond property details.

(And as a conservative investor I personally would never touch any of the Cardone deals, for multiple reasons).Asking for total returns on this is like asking for the total returns of someone who invests in hedge funds (and expecting it to apply to your own experience).

We are probably around average I would say as far as risk tolerance (leaning more toward more conservative if anything).

Sales price: $900,000Seller finance: $400,000 / 2 year ballon / 7% interest rate / interest only monthly payment: $2,333 / no pre-payment feeEstimated monthly income: $9,300 / Annual: $111,600Electric separated - water $450 per monthProperty taxes: $16,700 (with property value assessed)Property Insurance: $6,300Renovation Repairs $150,000I anticipate the Re-fi appraisal to come in at a conservative $1,150,000.
