To set the scene: A cost seg study breaks your property into two important categories:1250 "real" property aka the building, foundation and other long life assets.1245 property aka anything that can be accelerated such as 5, 7, or 15 year property like carpets, cabinets, or other site improvements.

As for me personally, I follow the Ian Ippolito method of having a foundation of low-risk properties via direct ownership and diversify via a some carefully selected syndications.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

We’ve found this approach fosters trust and creates a solid foundation for long-term relationships.

I'm starting to build the foundation so that when I get this experience I'll be ready and able to handle the business.

The lower level is called Foundations where you just go through his training (to become a sophisticated investor and invest with the people doing the deals) and get to attend his networking events (in order to build relationships with these people), but you don't get to work with Brad directly.

My book recommendations are not mindset necessarily, they're specifically tailored to passive investing and the reason for this is I think having an educational foundation on mindset and strategy are important but getting too hung up on mindset may actually keep you from taking action.
