I would tell myself to figure out how to buy it if it is close to making sense and don't squabble over an extra couple thousand dollars that you are only paying 20-30% of at close anyways.

It just focuses on those people that missed out buying a home, even if it was for a minor amount, like the first couple in the article that got beat out by less than $10,000.  

But I would add a couple of things. 

That’s a game-changer when it comes to flipping profits.Your scenario reminds me of a client I worked with in San Diego who flipped a condo after living there for a couple of years.

First - I think your accountant should be providing you recommendations for cost segregation companies.It it most likely, if he/she works with real estate investors, that he/she would have a couple to recommend.Second - There are two types of cost segregation studies.Type 1 - Conducted by an engineering firm where an engineer will inspect the property.

couple of bullet points to bring up:* she's on M2M* I told her on 12/7 of the new rent which would apply to a new Jan. 1 effective lease, this is when I got the "I'm moving out" message* Sent her the move-out letter on 12/11, with options for her to either be moved out by 12/31 (she's fully paid up for month of December) or by 1/11 (30 days from date of notice) and pay a pro-rated rent based on her CURRENT rent amount. her choice, either is fine with me.With all that said, I'd love to do as you mentioned and post a notice on her door. 

I will DM you the address but prefer not to post it.

I would take a couple days and go down there (preferably with a friend...rent a U-Haul truck and go get furniture from thrift stores, antiques stores, and even buy some new stuff.

I prefer a more passive approach at this point as I know my own capabilities.

We pretty much only do BRRRRs since flipping has been unreliable for us over the last couple of years.
