The investor who bought this home owns an asset that is cash flow positive from day one and one that will benefit from all 5 profit centers of rental property investing for many years to come.

With real estate investing, you have the tax benefit and depreciation along with what is hopefully an apreciating  asset.

That's my biggest concern.But I should also look at the tax and long term benefits.

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

However, you really have to analyze the costs and benefits to see if it's worth the trouble.

Lots of folks are pulling out cash based on the appraised value for their next projects and holding for a few years to benefit from appreciation. 

Do honest math on a purchase and you'll see.The benefits of real estate are... all of them together. 

I just do not understand the need to add "benefits" to the programs  that are just not real. 

Most cost segregation firms will provide a free cost/benefit analysis quote to help you determine if the tax benefits from the study will outweigh the costs.

I was curious how those of you that work with partners clearly define the roles and benefits within your entity.
