He told me he owned a few mobile home parks in town (they were large and had high lot fees) and this is what sparked my curiosity.

Not a lot of our competitors offer this but it's something we can consider (but for us, it can't be in a rural area, the loan amount must exceed $150k, if we're using PadSplit income (or STR/MTR income) the max LTV is 75% and the down payment must come from your own funds). 

Is my thinking correct that homes in highly appreciated areas won't benefit as much from Cost Seg. 

While this is a great and highly motivating goal, most people are either clueless or incorrect in their belief as to what is required to obtain this “lifestyle”.Understanding of the “how to” get there is further obscured by the misleading, and often patently false “pathways” sold by real estate educational MARKETING companies as workshops, upsold to association memberships, upsold to mentorships.

There's a post right above mine from a lender... there's always a lender offering $$$ even when people can't afford it. 

I am very new to real estate investing and I am now putting an offer in for my first potential investment property.

It’s about understanding what each neighborhood offers.

It all started when my wife's college friend offered me an opportunity to invest in a commercial property.

However, if you feel you need their input earlier, you could offer to pay for their visit to walk the property with you pre-inspection.

I use the fix and flip tab and it's great it tells me my allowable offer and all the tools are helpful!
