@Kerry Baird Love hearing about others taking advantage of cost segregation studies.

We deducted the cost of cleaning the home, the carpet, and some other drywall and paint damage to the property.

I personally made these repairs at a total cost to me for $150.

@Fabio CattolicoFrom my experience, balancing career growth, cost of living, and real estate goals is a smart move.

Also curious what the cost is. 

There was no chance of seller financing, and the cash investor price was too low for the sellers.  

Sometimes, unseen issues (like major repairs) end up costing more than the discount you negotiated.Final Thoughts•If there are no major rental restrictions, and the numbers work based on rental comps, this could be a great first investment.

You'll want a PMC that will check on the property monthly or even weekly, to keep the college students obeying the rules.This management may cost a bit more, but is well worth it!

In moderate- or low-resource areas, developers also need to hold a public meeting within 45 days to gather feedback.
