Plus, having a dedicated account for marketing ensures you always have funds to invest in finding your next deal.For those looking to scale their portfolios, this structure becomes even more important.

I'm planning to launch my long term rental portfolio in 2025.

The typical clients that seek out cost segregation studies include:Real estate companies that buy and sell multiple properties each year.Individuals with a portfolio containing investment properties including apartment buildings, multi-family homes and even single residences.Franchise owners with properties that are similar to one another such as assisted living facilities, storage facilities and golf courses.Business owners of hotels, food facilities, shopping centers, restaurants or manufacturing plants.It depends on the type of property, but generally 15-45% of the building’s costs can be classified into assets with a shorter life.

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

Leveraging equity and planning your next move with strategic financing is an excellent way to build your portfolio.

Hi fellow investors,I have several owner-financed mortgages in my portfolio with interest rates of 10% and higher.

Is their current portfolio distressed, or was the majority of their current portfolio purchased at the peak of the market, indicating that they might be in distress in the near future. 

Their is always a team in every market that can help you build your portfolio even when your not "on the ground".

As someone who is in both the markets and real estate (I do real estate and my wife the markets) its all about balancing the portfolio and the risk.

Thanks Don, that is both enlightening, and created new questions as I have 2 potential deals that could be classified as commercial, both are airbnb portfolios, with one being 3 singe family units, and the other being a single site with multiple units (11 units,themed resort style).
