To set the scene: A cost seg study breaks your property into two important categories:1250 "real" property aka the building, foundation and other long life assets.1245 property aka anything that can be accelerated such as 5, 7, or 15 year property like carpets, cabinets, or other site improvements.

I need some real life advice, I want to house hack but I want to build a duplex.

How would it differ from a general life coach?

Give yourself 10 years with that 200k and you’ll be set for life with real estate cash flow.

Or you will be screwed for life. 

I don't think you will find it, but if you do, it'll cost ya.It sounds like an amazing house hack if you can move your life around to make it your primary (and the financing will get MUCH easier).

And even then, the life cycle is generally pretty long from first contact to closing.  

However, if it is an STR, the depreciable life would be 39 years.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible but I am at a cross road in life here and can’t seem to find the guidance I need.
