Quote from @Bob Dole: All,Apologies for the newb question, but I just heard about cost segregation and have been reading up about it online.My understanding is this (and please correct me where I'm wrong):Pros: -accelerate depreciation, front load (vs. just a straight line over 39 years) -save money on taxes because of the depreciationCons: -if I sell the property, the recapture will be larger -not recommended if you flip propertiesSo hypothetical situation:-Majority of our income is W2 based, let's say it's $500k-Net income from commercial rental is $100k-Income from dividends and interests is $100k-Both of us are full time W2, so non-prof real estate (but this can change  -- please see below)So we're hypothetically grossing $700k a year.

@Andrew Lanoie I apologize for my remark.But our investment is 40 times the monthly payment.

Don't apologize, don't explain how the 'chosen' tenant was more qualified than they were, wish them well in their search.You're running a business and you've made a business decision. 

Quote from @Jerell Edmonds: My apologies it would be for electric & gas i pay water and sewage When people talk submetering they are usually talking about water I think. 

No apologies needed that was great thank you! 

We apologize that your experience was less than stellar.

The permitting department is catching up on responses and we apologize for the delay - it was as if everyone was looking for updates at the same time at the new year mark and follow up questions as well.
