Renting could allow you to focus on paying down debt and saving for a larger down payment, while buying now could help you start building equity or even generate passive income through house hacking.

Generating equity is often second to that.

Any advise?

Obviously, each bears certain risks, and usually the agent would advise on these topics in the beginning.

Many of my customers who are traveling nurses buy condos or townhomes in Florida as vacation homes, then rent them out when they're not in town.This system has proven to be very lucrative, as it allows them to service the mortgage debt and generate a good cash flow.

Yes you also get appreciation, but when a total stock market index like  (IVV) returns 30% over the last year and 90% over the last 5, I have a hard time advising someone to buy a property for all cash to receive 5.3% along with the risk, property mgmt etc.  

The report is as good as the answers you provide to their questions.The risk is that you answer a question incorrectly which generates an incorrect report.I would have a discussion with your CPA to determine what the land basis is(required to start the cost segregation).I would also have your home inspection / appraisal on hand to answer the questions more thoroughly. 

Where are you generating leads and for what end?
