FHA and conventional loans are available for such for non-permanent residents, but there are quite a few rules so I can't be sure you'd qualify without talking further.

What I cannot endorse is the misleading presentations by some cost segregation companies to sell their services. 

I try to inspire.I get a TON of these personal messages:Frankly, the way you’ve turned his question and plea for help into a personal attack with accusations about me “selling services” is beyond me.:) Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, Mr.

A $400k home requires much more upkeep than a normal rental.IMHO it will be a looser and you need to sell it and get on with your new life.Thank you for your service and good luck,

I’ve been using them to screen my tenants to find out that the only service they use when looking at a tenant is Transunion credit reporting agency.

Also understanding how things are put together, how siding works, gutters, etc (basically as many aspects of the home as possible)Having this knowledge will also help you from getting burned by contractors telling you things just so they can save time and money and deliver a crappy service.

BNBCalc is a complimentary service to all the STR and LTR data providers out there.

@Timothy Blackman- thanks  ...get some referrals for lenders from friends / co workers ...contact them all on the same day with the same criteria and ask them any questions you have and  ask for some scenarios ...compare the  feedback and service they provide ...pick one lender to get pre approved with ,,once you have a property - contact all lenders again for pricing options for the actual loan you will need ...hopefully the lender you chose for pre approval will be competitive in their pricing ..good luck

From page 730 (emphasis mine): "All non-business tax deductions and exemptions that were temporarily suspended by the 2017 tax bill should be permanently repealed, including the bicyclecommuting expense exclusion, non-military moving expense deductions, and the miscellaneous itemized deductions.23 The individual state and local tax deduction, which was temporarily capped at $10,000, should be fully repealed.
