. - I've had multiple vacancies, including one where the tenant left after a year and cost me $6k in turn costs.

@Kerry Baird Love hearing about others taking advantage of cost segregation studies.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Upfront expenses and monthly payments must be considered when calculating the return on your investment.EXAMPLEYou cash out $100,000 of your equity and use this as a down payment on a $400,000 investment property.

You can ask for copies of that, but if she knew someone had done that, then she should have been up front and said something.

But you have closing costs for Refi, and sale, but in sale you get all your equity back out. 

It is worth paying more upfront if it takes less time on site to put together.

Since rental losses are typically passive, the best way to offset W-2 income is through Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) (750+ hours) or Short-Term Rentals (STRs) (100+ hours and more time than anyone else managing the property), which allow real estate losses, including depreciation, to offset active income.A cost segregation study accelerates depreciation, generating large upfront deductions.

Tai lopez it appears has really costs Norada Capital immeasurable harm. 

Of course have your costs researched first bc the buyer will want to know how much it will cost them to buy.
