However, dealing with the seller is a bit of a mess - she is extremely pushy and want me to place a $50k earnest money deposit ASAP.

@David Cherkowsky, I'll just comment on the value of depreciation and leave the rest of it to a tax expert.

I've used Lifeproof from Home Depot, it was a little bit harder to install due to it's rigidity and thickness but it's extremely durable and easy to clean.

When I approve a customer for an investment home its extremely hard to find a good agent that will "listen" to the buyer and me as the banker.

I'm no expert, but I know several people who have had loans called due on sub to deals because of the way they structured their insuance policy.

I'll preface by saying I'm not a tax expert, but just went through a cost segregation as a REPS and this was my view.The benefit from pulling out these items coupled with the bonus depreciation far outweighs any incrementally higher taxes in later years, by quite a large margin. 

Did you ever consider using a property tax appeal expert?

Hello everyone,I am currently using Turno and find the app to be extremely user-friendly.

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

I think this is extreme price gouging, especially since we did not agree to pay that kind of money and if he was expecting that kind of money, he should not have awaited to the very end to tell us.
