The Amerisouth case is a great example of what NOT to do with cost seg.

Turnover is higher, repairs are higher, but I also find tons of deals on properties because most people can't seem to handle them.By going into it with the expectation of higher turnover, repairs and what not I feel like I've been able to formulate a workable strategy on the properties to continue to be profitable.

I did learn a lot from, and still do, the non-pay methods, but the best came from the ones I paid/pay for.Also, just jumping in doesn't teach you anything but what not to do. 

From the investor side I know there are folks who like that they can access cheaper markets within an easy day trip, and get in a little wine tasting or what not as well. 

Once a month, my LLC rents a portion of my house for a day event (cookout or whatnot).

Old people with spouses and kids and reputations and whatnot don't always have that option.Good luck to you!

See if you can actually turn this into a lesson--a what not to do and try and prevent the same problem the second time around.I would even look closely at the management situation.

There may or may not be case law that a landlord that denied a section 8 applicant, based solely on being on the program, was fined or what not.

And, this is the best part, they walked me through every step of the process, including what notices to give, what to say, what not to say, when to accept rent, when not to accept rent, etc.

Many contractors are very familiar with insurance policies and what not.
