This method is helpful if there are time constraints on obtaining a cost segregation study, but it is not the most accurate.SAMPLING OR MODELING APPROACHIn this approach, a cost segregation study is performed over a sample of a large portfolio of properties that are very similar in terms of appearance, use and construction.

We don't know of too many places that offer turnkey properties, so if you have any recommendations that would be great.

I faced numerous hurdles and stressful moments, but I persevered and built a successful approach.To tackle this challenge, I recommend starting early by building relationships and seeking investors.

@Peet BothmaHi, I'm working in MILWAUKEE.Do you have a recommendation for a lender for refi cash out for foreign national?

BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

I generally recommend if you're not going to buy a property in the city/market where you currently live, the next best place to look is where you have family (and presumably a place that you'll visit relatively often and easily).What is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper", assuming you buy in Peoria or a similar priced Midwest market?

Are there any key resources, platforms, or strategies you’d recommend for a beginner? 

However, I don’t yet have the funds for a down payment on another house, and I’m trying to figure out the best option for where to live while I rent the apartment.Do you have any recommendations for managing this transition or tips on finding a temporary place to stay?

I'd estimate your cash flow after you pay the loan payment would be $600-$800, which a lender that understands investment real estate should give you some credit for on your DTI.As for a bank, I have a specific lender at NBI that I would recommend.

With $20K to work with and a being new to US real estate I would recommend partnering with someone local.
