@David Cherkowsky, I'll just comment on the value of depreciation and leave the rest of it to a tax expert.

I'll preface by saying I'm not a tax expert, but just went through a cost segregation as a REPS and this was my view.The benefit from pulling out these items coupled with the bonus depreciation far outweighs any incrementally higher taxes in later years, by quite a large margin. 

I can't speak for all agents, but because I primarily work with investors, I occasionally get my hands on off market properties, insights, etc.

Looking to get insight.

Did you ever consider using a property tax appeal expert?

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

Thanks for your insight Nathan.

I also have been talking to a property manager and asking for insights/advice for the location. 

This approach allows you to present professionally and gain valuable insight into the process, which you can then replicate in-house for your next property.

Perfect, thank you for all the helpful insight.
