Are there any tried and true/ industry standard sites, forums, etc. where those looking to avoid capital gains look for investment properties?  

This helps in setting the right rental prices, finding quality tenants quickly, and understanding local laws.

Even if you can't get the 100% of purchase + 100% of rehab though, you could still be looking at only needing to cover 5%, 10%, or 15% of the purchase with seller financing as opposed to the more standard 20% down on a DSCR loan.

@Doug LearnardRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

The tax law does NOT define specific requirements or standards for cost segregation studies, and neither does the IRS.

The Windows are extremely good quality , but Brown casing and frame.

If you took the hit and lost money on this one tenant, by what standard would you refuse to do so to other tenants in comparable situations in the future?

One approach could be to reach out to tax professionals in other states with lower costs of living, as they might provide quality services at more competitive rates.

Facebook rarely provides quality applicants.
