Great reason for not pulling deductions forward.I have been retired from a W2 job for some time and my income is at an all time high and will just keep going up with more RE investments. 

This allows for proper retirement of assets.If a property has already been sold it may still be a good candidate for cost segregation as long as you sold the building and have not filed the tax return.

A landlord cant deduct home office, cant save for his retirement, nothing.  

Given their age and position in life… mailbox money flow forever sounds like a good start to retirement to me!

Overall goal being to retire in the home in 10-15 years.  

Want to retire in 10/25/40 years?

Nor any commercial lender, because the previous owners ran it as kind of a retirement hobby and the historical P&L's were crap. 

I am 80 years old and rely on investments for retirement income.

Once we changed to charging a fee, proof of ability to close, good income, a sizable reserve and reasonable credit, the students not only started taking the training seriously but actually began buying properties for their retirement.

I'm just 32 so quite a while before retirement.
