@Steve CrispIf you meet the material participation guidelines and qualify for the short term rental loophole you should get a free cost segregation estimate to see how much you would benefit from the accelerated depreciation. 

It does not cost the landlord except for the labor and materials.

However, I do not know who this could be beyond a property manager which would not work in my case since I am looking to self manage for both tax (material participation in STR loophole) and profitability reasons. 

It's not a great time to do a first flip with high labor costs, high materials costs, high property costs, and high rates.

There is plenty of material to take a look at that will certainly help you on your investment journey.

For STRs, material participation rules apply, and STR income is treated as non-passive, allowing losses to offset active income.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Literally hundreds of pages of material in 3 workbooks.

The place where you can add value with no money is a situation like: you find project A, it is a 120k purchase and it should need 80k rehab but you can get rehab done for 65k cause you can do some of the work and you know how to save on materials and you can manage the rehab.
