Multi-family properties are usually the easiest for an qualified engineer to perform a cost segregation study on, because the units are generally identical.

Turns out the seller is going through a short sale with the property and is willing to accept less than the listing price but I been reading about short sale fraud and I'm going to leave this one alone because I dont want to be caught up with the FBI.

Some of the business dealings described go as far as criminal behavior and fraud.

i do notice though that redfin has identical if not the exact same info as the mls listing, which zillow doesn't seem to have. great info, but do lmk about how to find similar prices on redfin like i do on zillow. thanks 

I find it interesting that I've not found any reports on the web of investigations, complaints of fraud from actual NRIA.

Or would that be considered mortgage fraud?

Also, based on location and size, I'm assuming the purchase is well under the $1.5mm threshold for FinCen, so the SCorp members wouldn't have to reveal themselves, although I doubt they're trying to hide their identity like some foreign billionaire or something.

There have been quite a few mortgage related frauds that have caused the legislation to get involved... and for good reason.

Obviously, deal flow is small and scams/fraud is rampant.I am happy to share if I can help you with any of my knowledge.

Not many people would deliberately sabotage their good credit for some quick cash ( except for the substance abusers and identity thieves).
