I'm trying to figure out a way to utilize a large storage building at one of my MTR listings in Memphis.

Again, this is a conversation to have with your accountant to ensure the benefits would outweigh the costs.Another misconception is that there is little value in a cost segregation study for properties that do not have a lot of personal property in them or very little interior build out, such as industrial warehouses.

Stairs are the only way to get in, no grab rails in the bathroom, ramps that are too steep, etc.From what I've read, all commercial businesses/buildings (including ones before the ADA was passed) have to comply with the rules, unless it would be outrageously tough to fix (like installing an elevator in an already built building).Are all these local business just not complying and taking the risk, or am I missing something? 

Since you're investing from a distance, I recommend interviewing multiple agents, lenders, property managers, contractors, and other professionals to build a strong and reliable team.

I suspect a decent VA could access public records and build a mainling list for you  or check Property Radar and see if there software will do that for you..

Its not as easy but once you are up in running you are building a brand, equity in your business, and also constant flow of leads.

I have friends in each spot and think they could help me build a great team.

Another thing to think about is what kind of turnover you have, what condition the building is in. 

We did this because initially we were just going to build/sell, but I would rather hold on to it.

I'm starting to build the foundation so that when I get this experience I'll be ready and able to handle the business.
