Quote from @Roy Jenkins: I want to start flipping properties my last year in the military but I'm not quite sure what the best type of loan would be for a beginner flipper.

What market are you looking at, what type of housing are you interested in getting into and what's your preferred exit?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

What type of properties are you looking at? 

Has anyone ever used this type of product on an investment property?

You might be unrealistic on what you have to spend, or you're looking at the wrong types of deals. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

These apps don't know what type of payment is being sent, when rent was actually due, etc.

While the IRS does not mandate a physical site visit, the IRS cost segregation audit technique guide (ATG) does suggest conducting “field inspections.”It’s important to note that the ATG is not an official IRS document.It serves as a guide and cannot be used, cited, or relied upon as an authoritative source.However, the recommendations in the ATG are worth considering.According to the guide: “A field inspection is recommended to document the physical details of the building, type of construction, materials used for construction, the assets contained in the building, the size and types of building systems, and any land improvements that were included in the purchase of the property and the condition of that property at the time of purchase.”So while the IRS does not require a site visit for cost segregation studies, following the guidance from the cost segregation audit technique guide can be beneficial.
