I have been able to review or been told of several audits (from other REI tax colleagues) related to cost segs in the last year or so- and of those none of DIY cost segs were allowed under audit. 

Long term goals in mind that I need a track record and capital for! 

Hi, I have been using Rentredi since last December 2018.

You'll have to run them yourself according to your goals, timeline, and financial situation. 

I've bought my last 3 house at fairly conservative pricing and reinvested into them.

Tennessee holding steady at #5And of course California came in dead last.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

I've seen smaller guys do a good job on 49 projects in a row than totally blow it on the last project.

The multi family niche makes this goal possible.Keep pushing.

For example, I often recommend working with vendors who specialize in rental property maintenance or have experience with rental landscaping to keep your property looking great without overspending.Start Small and SmartFocus on buying a property that fits your budget and investing goals.
