@Zachary Barton I didn't pull the trigger on a STR, but was impressed with Hoasty.co when I did my due diligence.  

If you take that into consideration, you are losing money on the property. 

I would definitely research that before pulling the trigger on a property. 

 @Shravan Hemchand Prior to pulling the trigger on a Cost Seg study, you should evaluate 2 things:1 - How much net additional deprecation tax deductions a Cost Seg study would provide: Best way to get this is by requesting a free feasibility analysis from a Cost Seg provider.

If yes, are there considerations such as* can we sell off-market and for less than market value to SDIRA* Can I self-manage in SDIRA? 

Are there any considerations I should be aware of and account for when under contract with a property owner who has an assignment contract with a wholesaler/investor?
