Trump's tax plan or not I do not know.

This doesn't take much time at all and allows clients to write off the basis in their property quicker.There was a change under the "Trump plan" that affects your ability to complete a 1031 exchange (like-kind exchange) after completing a cost seg so if that is part of  your strategy it would be something to consider as well.There isn't a hard set line on when it makes sense to complete a study but with the information posted I don't think it would make a lot of sense on this property. 

HOA trumps city code, in this instance.

That trumps anything said verbally.

I don't know what kind of economic recovery and rebuilding we'll see under the Trump administration.

Someone expertise trumps locality.

I say do it without them included cause it might not meet appraisal, then u can purchase it after the fact and get the benefits of the new Trump tax stuff ...
