For example, several of our clients last year did not have a primary intention of profitability. 

Hi All - When selling a property with the intention of immediately buying another building via a 1031 exchange, can anyone recommend strategies for removing or at least lessening the risk of running out of time to meet the 1031 deadlines?

A con would be that a cost segregation strategy was implemented, and the investor sells it within 5 years with no intention of doing a 1031.

The fact is that anyone who takes, leads, or carries away the property of another with the intent to convert it to their own use or deprive the owner of it is committing a crime. 

I would like for the properties to cash flow but have no intentions of living off of the cash flow.

Although the study may increase the gain, the gain may be taxed at a much lower rate making it a beneficial investment.If a property is purchased with the intention to flip or own for a short period of time (less than 3 years), a cost segregation study may not be significant.Overall, as long as you intend to hold the investment property for greater than a year, the benefits of a cost segregation study should be considered.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

I actually found out today that the founder of the company Zack had no intentions on funding my deal from about three weeks ago and was stringing my loan along until today.

Slow beginnings are common in real estate investing, and building momentum comes with intentional planning and leveraging your resources effectively.To gain traction:Evaluate Equity: Review the equity in your owner-occupied home and rentals.

I am thinking about purchasing land for the intention of using it as a RV & Boat Self Storage.
