That's the key component that is usually missing when I hear other entrepreneurs/investors say they don't like QBO.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

The unit SF is one component of its size, but then we will sometimes add exclusive use common areas  as well as a pro-rated allocation of the common area.

Another service we provide is called an "Either/Or" - EITHER the property is Lead-Free (no positive lead-paint components) OR there are positive lead-paint components identified but still safe/habitable lead levels to reside within said unit. 

You should have had a conversation with an accountant prior to going ahead with the cost segregation study.A cost segregation study breaks down a building to more components than just building and land.

Likely the reason it cash flows on paper is due to a very large construction component that you might be underestimating.

As you mentioned intentional flips are typically considered inventory-This means the income is ordinary income and as such: - Is not a capital gain, so hold time of 1 year does not change to a better long-term capital gain rate - Can not be invested in a QOF Deductions related to it can't be pushed or changed- all costs are accounted for with the inventory component 

One was a straight-up purchase, the other included a loan component.

There are mutiple components.

I used the proceeds to buy another property that had an obvious value add component.3.
