The ability to do cost segregation and bonus depreciation3.

To adapt, focus on refining your ARV and repair cost estimates, explore off-market deals, and consider creative financing strategies like seller financing or partnerships.

I'd have to see your overall layouts but I think you are on the right track. we build 3 story stacked triplexes and it's very efficient so don't be afraid to go up either. anytime you build more than 1 structure costs are much higher but if its just to offset mortgage and you want to be separate then I understand. 

@Vincent WeselakIt’s a good idea to get an estimate for your insurance costs upfront since this can vary based on the property type and location, and it’s a key factor in evaluating your cash flow. 

No but keep track of those repairs as it will add to your cost basis when you go to sell it and have to pay capital gains.

I can lend up to 100% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab costs for experienced investors on 1-4 unit properties.

WHAT IS A COST SEGREGATION STUDY?

Not to mention the general PHX market has become expensive and people have already been looking for cost efficient alternatives in the northwest and southeast corners of the valley. 

Most of the high cost repairs have been done in the last 2 years such as roof, siding, gutters.

Granted there is a cost in hiring an agent, Having someone analyze each deal with localized knowledge is worth its weight in gold.
