Good morning everyone,Curious to see if someone could help with the following question:If I perform a cost segregation study for a short-term rental property purchased the previous year, would I amend the return for the previous year or adjust in the year of the cost segregation study?

Major player is not anything I would consider to be an accurate description of him. 

They will work with the buyer to re-set the loan and terms because when they foreclose and bid the property in for their loan amount which they mostly do around here, they have to recognize the loss as a non performing loan which has a multiplier effect on their lending base.

"The provisions of this article shall not apply to any person, firm, partnership, association or corporation who, as a bona fide owner or lessor, shall perform any of the aforesaid acts with reference to property owned by him."

After paying closing costs, title fees, appraisal, origination, underwriting, processing, legal and other fees, the typical refinance costs about 1.75 - 2.5% of the loan amount just in closing costs (obviously before people yell at me, this varies drastically by state, but having done loans all over the country I find this to be a pretty accurate estimate).  2) Keeping the average 2% cost in mind and the fact that people typically refinance when rates drop about .75% - 1% or more, I wanted to see if paying an extra point now when I was already paying all the closing costs to buy the rate down made sense. 1 point can get you between .5% - .625% off the rate depending on the days pricing and the coupon you are pricing. 

An investor agent or STR agent should be able to advise you on the specific areas that perform great.Regarding property manager, are the properties you're looking at luxury? 

@Andrew Steffens, fair enough, but with a lower entry point, higher appreciation rates than most small cities (it has 100,000+ residents, which is not little), great MTR-LTR metrics, and nearby well-performing regional attractions, it has a lot of data pointing to it having a shot at success. 

Buy in a good location and have multiple strategies should STR not perform as anticipated.

A borrower must choose his or her own contractors to perform the needed renovation.Ø All Contractors participating in the HomeStyle Renovation Program must complete a Contractor Profile Report.

I'm in the retail sector, primarily value-add product with a great location but poorer performance than the market average.
