As someone new to tax lien and deed investing, I've been studying up to get the hang of it.

As Sean said....if the academy isn't for you, just the podcasts alone are incredible (my words)I've read through every wholesaling post on BP, and aside from a handful of quality discussions that are very very good, most of the 105 pages can't touch the material that Sean provides for free in his podcasts.As someone who's starting brand new, I felt that getting either a home study course like Eric M's, or joining a coaching program would be a perfect compliment to all the information from the interwebz.

If geographically agnostic, I did a study just a week ago on the state of the duplex/fourplex market in the Killeen-Temple area.

If your kids really want to go to a top-ranked school in whatever field they choose for advanced study, they can earn their way in.I also found myself on a therapist's couch a year into grad school having a panic attack about my absolute lack of money.

Then I studied, took the test and got my contractor's license.

Again, you are making claims to people who have actually already done what you are currently studying. 

I'd been thinking, "I should be able to handle this myself--but now I have to really study up and make sure I don't do anything wrong, cuz now this precious squatter is threatening me with legal action--AND I want to avoid lawyer's fees."

I had given them the cost segregation studies for both properties that were provided to me but they didn't use them. 

If you are a foreignor, your 'normal straight line depreciation' may have a longer period than someone who is a US resident / Citizen.Is it possible to do a cost segregation study = YesDoes it make sense to do a cost segregation study = MaybeThe only reason I would prolly consider doing a cost segregation is if you think this rental property or another rental property would generate positive rental income in the near future(1-4 years).

Wow How did a post sharing a case study how something can get done got so testy..
