Lol, every single time I've decided to do the painting myself........about halfway through I am regretting it big time......my body hurts, it's mind-numbingly boring (I think that's why painters have the drinking/druggie reputation... :-)

I love algorithm based cost seg studies.

@Eric Lowe 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.

They will generate a report to you based on their findings.Type 2 - conducted by an engineering firm where they will have you complete a questionnaire.The questionnaire will ask you details regarding the house and therefore, I would recommend having a home inspection or appraisal at the time of completion.The above two studies have pros / cons and differences in cost and turnaround time.Best of luck.

Also, the benefits of a cost segregation study can vary based on a multitude of factors.

I would like to do some research on other rental properties before I set my priceComputer algorithms are good for studying a general market, maybe even a neighborhood, but they are terrible for evaluating a specific rental.

I also treated studying like a full-time job.
