If you buy a package of 6 lesser houses  that means I have 6 roofs, 6 hvac, less cashflow, and likely subpar appreciation(dollar for dollar) compared to better areas.The reduced maintenance costs, higher rents, better tenants, appreciation, and reduced hassle factor for new construction are real and attractive.  

It took me about three years, after improving the units, raising the rents yearly and reducing my costs, to break even.

It can eliminate or reduce the largest expense most of us have.

@Jesse Kerr I would hire a VA to reduce the work load.

I don't see a lot of 5-6-7 unit properties anyway, but if they exist, different lending and significantly reduces your exit strategy in today's world. 

Bonus depreciation would reduce taxes on the IRA itself, if any, and those taxes are likely zero already.Taxes on withdrawing or Roth conversion are on the IRA owner, yourself.

This will not only help you track if there's damage done by a tenant, but it will also significantly reduce costs on the remediation side if the property is empty as there are no contents that need to be removed or packed out and cleaned.

I guess it's about cross-referencing my work with someone else's to reduce the possibility of errors.

Thanks to the Cost Segregation Study, the property investors were able to reclassify the property into shorter useful life categories resulting in first year depreciation of $203,600.The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

With that in mind, what is a good strategy to communicate this and reduce the shock ?
