How accurate is the data provided by AirDND in terms of price and occupancy or do you use a different website to analyze deals?

There is a guy on youtube called AI Williamson - Leading Landlord: Cracking the Code: Analyzing Mid-Term rentals in your local travel Nurse Market.

What a cost segregation study does is it analyzes a property and breaks out the depreciable basis of the property to more than just building and land.It will try to identify assets that are eligible for 5, 7 or 15 year asset lifes which would be eligible for bonus depreciation.Whether a cost segregation study will help you depends on your tax situation.High level, it will help you in two situations1) Your rental property is active and you can offset the losses against other forms of income.2) You have a lot of passive income and you want to increase your passive losses to offset your passive income.Best of luck
