They use their case studies to sell you, but all houses/locations aren't going to produce those same results. 

@Chelsie Hall In order to utilize cost segregation in your depreciation calculation, you would need to have a cost segregation study performed.

@Jeff S.You will probably end up right around the same place… lots of studies on returns of real estate vs stocks and the returns are almost identicalWhere real estate investors of course can increase it is if they are more active in investing

For tax purposes, you might get a big tax advantage to buying a house and doing the remodel and a Cost Segregation Study. 

For a property with $101k income, it might be worthwhile upon purchase to do a cost segregation study so that you can front load the depreciation.

When I studied Econ in college, we used an average 3.1% inflation rate as an assumption.

I follow some real estate investors and want to put some of the strategies I learned into play.A little bit about me: I came to the U.S. in 2019 to study electrical engineering and always tried to learn how to better manage my personal finances.

Forget the bs nonsense being pushed by gurus - study PRINCIPLES of real estate, real estate FINANCE, and real estate LAW.  

However, you can use a cost segregation study to break the property into different class lives and claim more depreciation up front.

Financing is something I’m studying now.
