The typical clients that seek out cost segregation studies include:Real estate companies that buy and sell multiple properties each year.Individuals with a portfolio containing investment properties including apartment buildings, multi-family homes and even single residences.Franchise owners with properties that are similar to one another such as assisted living facilities, storage facilities and golf courses.Business owners of hotels, food facilities, shopping centers, restaurants or manufacturing plants.It depends on the type of property, but generally 15-45% of the building’s costs can be classified into assets with a shorter life.

Just food for thought if you cannot find one in that direct vicinity. 

(I also had to come to CA for health reasons, so I am not sure if that is an exception)- If I use any of the above, can I use a portion of the money to pay off personal debt?

I'm an experienced project manager with hundreds of cradle-to-grave efforts under my belt, including building project scopes and budgets, evaluating contract proposals, and managing construction to maintain the delivery of high quality products on-time and in budget.Penny is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), serving the community mental health needs of parents, children and families.We both recognize we have an immense opportunity to serve our community and want to capitalize on the blessings we have been provided so that we can continue serving our neighbors.My wife, Penny, and I are looking to transition into commercial multi-family real estate in 2025.

Health professionals are generally looking for 1-2 bedrooms and even travelers in other professions look for that size unit.

Health and safety inspections don't seem to care much about zoning or permitting issues.

The owner, a family member of one of our buyers, inherited the property through probate, but they weren’t equipped to handle the renovation.The house had been left in disrepair for quite some time, with the previous owner struggling with mental health issues.

Key: cleanliness, keeping food contained and not leaving pet food out, exclusion (blocking holes where rodents can enter), keeping vegetation away from the building.If it becomes a serious problem or infestation, then call in the pros.

Just food for thought- It's not always in your best interest to provide all of the materials, negotiate too hard, refuse to pay a deposit, etc.
