Rents are projected to keep climbing next year, and there are still panicked sellers out there, which means opportunities are popping up.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the information you may need to provide for a cost segregation study.For existing buildings:List of equipment on the propertyProperty settlement stateAny appraisals or purchase/lease agreements Property maps or blueprintsSchedules, change orders or documents for future renovation plansSupporting documents for calculating real property book valuePrevious purchase price allocations that separated assets into their appropriate allocation and valuePast site inspections and photographsDocumentation that proves or records deterioration of assetsFor new construction:Contracts or contract paymentsLand and property sizeBlueprints of projectList of equipment involved or purchasedList of projected costs including costs for land developmentApplicable site inspectionsConstruction schedules and payment requestsPhotographs of completed assets or work in progressCost segregation specialists typically have an organized plan for the collection and analysis of the information provided.

I'm a project manager and have a team of over 60 contractors that have all undergone a 5 step vetting process.

The great part about contacting the CDC directly (and a large one such as TMC) is they can make referrals to banks that would be interested in your project (i.e. banks that have been actively doing SBA hotel loans)...rather than you having to chase down the bank first, which can be very difficult.Regular commercial lending requirements are applicable (will vary by bank):1 - no bankruptcies2 - no foreclosures3 - FICO > 7004 - net worth >= loan amount5 - post closing liquidity >= 12 months of P&IIf this works out, you are going to be glad that you made this post.

The cash flow from the properties I am looking @ are low..The buildings are all under performing on what they could potentially get for rent..I see a lot of room for growth and cash flow on these properties, especially with two major projects in the village getting ready to be completed -more jobs and more foot traffic to Main Street are on the way..Carbon copy of Hudson and early 2000’s... Advice, buying a building that wouldn’t maximize for 15 to 24 months ??

My focus is on affordable housing, especially mixed-use projects that serve both residential and community needs.

@Michelle Hardy recommend you compare projections for:1) Current rent-by-room2) LTR2) MTR4) STRRank them by revenue, expenses and how much time each will require from YOU.Find the balance that works for you!

Hi Kyle - we have two development projects currently in DC.

When reaching out, it helps to offer value in return—think about tasks like checking on properties when they can't, delivering materials, finding reliable contractors, or even handling basic project management tasks.Building genuine relationships and showing you're willing to contribute will go a long way in earning their trust and gaining hands-on experience.

I understand that not every project will be a success, and I am okay with that.However, when it comes to financial wins, which option do you think offers a better financial outcome?
