An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provide support for the property tax appeals process.

Thus I do not see what benefit there is investing as a LP with a LLC

Not many people want to believe in holding onto something for a long time and seeing the benefit of it only 10-15 maybe 20 years down the line.

@Nathan Gesner what is the benefit of the double deposit rather than collecting last month's rent + a single deposit? 

if you aren't will to or don't want to go into those types of areas, but by all means the FHA or 5% down conventional 2-4 unit loan is gonna be the way to go in my opinion.We did a house hack as our first move into reale state investing and it was the best thing we ever did and continues to expand ints benefits to us every year, So I am a huge fan of the strategy. 

However, communication issues with Lacey began almost immediately—she took two weeks just to send me a contract and was frequently unresponsive, blaming weather-related issues.She advertised the property as highly profitable, but when I asked for proof, she never provided any.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

You can have for example a 6 months contract, extendable, as you are not covered by long-term rental rules (neither "benefits").

Nashville is a very pocketed city when it comes to neighborhood quality especially in relation to crime rates, overall aesthetics or available amenities.
