This has led me to search for firms specializing in the niche area of cost segregation for lower value rental properties, and what I found was firms who are using internally developed software which allows for such cost/engineering data to applied to basic parameters of a specific rental property to come up with a lite cost segregation report for lower value properties (depreciable basis >$500k).  

I've used two different real estate agents in the McAllen, Texas area, and am currently working with Monica Acevedo with The International Real Estate Company here out of McAllen.

i've started to think of my rental income as one component of my financial portfolio. 

Investors are limited in repercussion options, as there are few attorneys willing to specialize in the nuances of international contracts.

Does not cashflow great as my other long-term buy and holds but got some build in equity off the deal and property is located in a desirable location making it a great component to my overall portfolio.

How we handle international folks is the same process as US based people. 

It seems like traveling professionals, many interns, and even other professionals are tending to look for smaller spaces if they are traveling alone.

Tax deeds convey title to the purchaser free of all prior encumbrances (mortgage liens, judgment creditors, etc.) of any kind ​except liens specified by Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3712, Lis Pendens actions and any Federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) liens that are not discharged by the sale”.

They don't necessarily break down all the components and then charge you a fee to manage it, etc.

That rental money reinvested into these value add components should theoretically have a 3-5X, or more, return.
