Purchase price: $375,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This was a 2 unit that I purchased in 2016 for $375K.

I'd make sure just how much extra tax benefit will open up for you annually compared to the cost of the study.You are exactly right - a cost seg will get deferred in a 1031 exchange as long as the property you are purchasing is roughly the same components of things that were cost segregated.

I am a rookie investor and have not purchased a property yet.Thank you in advance.

It may be a little scary but if you go higher on your purchase price, 400k and up. 

A seller can not sign away his rights in a purchase or any other document.

Curious thoughts on the following scenario.Current SFR with $51k loan at 8.125%, just purchased with around 10% built-in equity on the property, $250 monthly cashflow (post expenses).

I guess the idea is to use the equity from one property to purchase the second property, and so on.

When the home was purchased, it was conventional loan and the basement had tenants.

I would  show you purchase strategies, real estate monetization, rent roll leveraging, portfolio margining and asset protection/deep tax deductions
