@Wiey Underwood 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.

We've even purchased, rehabbed and then sold properties to specific investors before.

@Gregory SchwartzWhat specifically are you hoping the software will do for you?

Here is a link to their zoning district summary:https://planning.baltimorecity...You could also call them if you want more specific information.

This can range from local real estate clubs all the way up to multifamily specific events such as the National Multi Housing Council’s annual meeting.

I know the IRS asks about entity vs personal members and if they're foreign or not specifically on the 1065 and other tax forms. 

These laws are state specific so check yours.  

These are not specifically real estate related.

Start-up expenses like the ones you mentioned can’t be fully deducted in the year they’re incurred.

For your specific question about doing a JV on the loan, my suggestion would be that both go on the loan and then do a separate joint venture agreement...because you can not have an LLC on the loan for those loan types, they need to be in your personal names.I am not a lender so maybe one of my lender friends could chime on exactly this would work @Zack Karp, @Michael Facchini, or @Jose Valdovinos?
