@Cameron NordinA cost segregation study accelerates depreciation by classifying certain building components as personal property or land improvements, allowing them to be depreciated over shorter recovery periods (e.g., 5, 7, or 15 years instead of 27.5 or 39 years).By accelerating depreciation, cost segregation lowers your tax basis more quickly than standard straight-line depreciation.

You need to be able to talk with strangers over the phone or in person to build rapport. 

Bonus points if you have worked with them and have personal experience.The property is in South Carolina, if that matters. 

So if you support the "tax the rich" movement you should be applauding tariff's because that "tax" is felt a thousand times more on the person buying a G6 or Lambo than on the person buying Domino's and Diapers.     

I think I can open another personal checking account at the bank I already have and it'll be under my name but i'm trying to buy out of state rentals with an LLC I own.

Try a Google search for managers or look for an investors group in the area that can provide personal recommendations.1.

i have seen many do very well getting on a team.Myself personally I would concentrate on listings 1000%  Buyers only if well knownand wont waste your time. 

To answer your question directly: a person should apply (whatever that means in your process) before being asked to screen.

Connect with a housing coordinator if that position is available in your area and stay in contact with that person. 

The agent is the person who will have all the data, when you do comps are they on Zillow or Redfin?
