However if you plan on buying 3-4units, there is a trigger rule for FHA, it is called the self sufficiency test.

If you just handled it on your own/contractor self-mitigation, you would need to have some proof it was handled.

Brian Davis: @Eric LoweThere's a company called Rental Property Refund that does cost segregation studies virtually, based on self-reported data from you.

This allows you to control renovations and decide whether to self-manage on the back end.

In any event, I would be glad to assist in any way I can as I have been through what you are likely about to go through. 

I hope you are asking two separate unrelated questions, because there's no point in doing cost segregation for properties held inside your self-directed solo 401k, save for some very rare exceptions.Some of the Bigger Pockets experts who operate reputable costs segregation companies are @Bernard Reisz, @Yonah Weiss and @Julio GonzalezSome of the Bigger Pockets experts who offer Solo 401k administrator services are @Dmitriy Fomichenko, again @Bernard Reisz and @Brian EastmanReach out to them and see if they can help.

@Sherry TsaiIf you choose to self manage, it would be the one closest to where you live.

Is there a report that says lower priced homes are more likely to have a seller assistance?

When staff members are well-informed, they understand the situation better and can assist in the transition process.Throughout my career, I have followed these principles of transparency when selling properties.

Down payment on FHA is 3.5% so you’re not wrong there and safe to assume another 2-4% for closing costs BUT you can negotiate seller assist to cover bulk of the fees if not all.
