@Nathan Frost typical for Detroit, that's why we offer our clients several security options, including removing & storing mechanicals when vacant and then reinstalling day tenant moves in.What makes you think the seller will install new mechanicals?

The typical clients that seek out cost segregation studies include:Real estate companies that buy and sell multiple properties each year.Individuals with a portfolio containing investment properties including apartment buildings, multi-family homes and even single residences.Franchise owners with properties that are similar to one another such as assisted living facilities, storage facilities and golf courses.Business owners of hotels, food facilities, shopping centers, restaurants or manufacturing plants.It depends on the type of property, but generally 15-45% of the building’s costs can be classified into assets with a shorter life.

Everything is on my schedule every day in a block of time (including shower).

If the former, note per Union City Rent Stabilization ordinance (https://ecode360.com/15397000 is a slightly outdated version), "the terms of this chapter apply to individual dwelling units within a building, including condominium or cooperative units in the process of being converted, or having been converted".

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

@Phillip Austin I self-manage my properties including some where I do rent by room as a primary strategy, and it is very effective if done well with good screening in place.The difference is starting with shorter leases for me. 

Another thing I am doing right now is looking for a mentor to help with my strategy, but in the meantime I thought I'd make a post and hear what BP investors would do in my shoes.For my situation, I am 26 and I have a very low income (55-65k annual) for my household and a growing family of 5 to support.

That does not even include the one or two deals that happen daily or weekly between realtors who know the buyer/seller and make a deal happen as almost an off-market deal.

You've laid your case or lack there of out for anyone to include the opposition to see.3.

Many include them constantly.
