Recognize initial cash flow is likely at an all time worse.  3 recent studies show that the rent to value ratios are at an all time worst.  

I did a study on this and surveyed 40 investors in CO.

Note it often is not a result of significant NOI change (excluding some markets where a lot of new units have been added). 3 recent studies show it is cheaper to rent than own in virtually all of the largest US markets.  

@Francisco Milan I'm a big fan of buying real estate and doing cost segregation studies.

She took about two months studying outreach particular niche and instituted a program in steps where the results could be verified before implementing the next step.  

We plan on buying in Columbia sc and im thinking of buying property near the hospitals and college and renting to collage studies and short turn nurse rental. 

I have studied the system and revisiting for more understanding while implementing it.

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.

You could sell the property at the beginning of the year and buy a property/place that property in service (and do a cost segregation study in the same year). 

A cost segregation study will help maximize these properties depreciation expenses in the early years.
