I’m based in Denver, CO, and I’d classify myself as a serial entrepreneur with a deep-rooted passion for real estate.Real estate has been a part of my life since childhood—both of my parents dabbled in it part-time, so I was always surrounded by it.

Base your decisions on hard facts only and maintain a paper trail. 

If you have already completed the exchange and are facing boot, a cost segregation study can help reduce your taxable income by increasing depreciation deductions, but it won't change the fact that boot is recognized.As @Bill B.In a partial exchange the tax is based on the boot received, not prorated across the entire transaction.

See who has poor reviews or seemingly bad management and use something like PropStream to find the owner based on the cross streets and exterior of the house.

I’m Mark, a new real estate investor based in San Diego, leveraging my background in AI-driven lead generation to find off-market deals.I’m currently looking for small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes, or quads) to rehab and house hack, to build long-term cash flow while living in the property.Outside of real estate, I’m into fitness, golf, and exploring San Diego’s best outdoor spots.

I have ideas of the values, but nothing based on anything concrete.If I take out a construction loan, how do I pay for the construction loan during the process? 

It’s still rough and has plenty of room for improvement, but I can upload photos of a distressed property, tax records, comps, lender rates, and local rehab costs.From there, it analyzes the photos to identify repairs, explains why they’re needed, estimates costs for each item, calculates the total rehab budget, determines ARV based on comps, and provides an expected return—basically automating a lot of what spreadsheets already do.It’s not meant to replace an analyst, and of course, everything still needs to be verified.

They benefit based on the interest rate.

I’d guess five to seven years, but I could be way off base.

Those tend to be the neighborhoods that are gentrifying.Unique stuff to Pittsburgh I would say is don't go based on zip codes since one zip code can be composed of multiple different areas/neighborhoods.
