I actually just posted a topic with deeper thoughts on the supplemental benefits of doing a cost seg study. 

OMG i did this for a couple of my clients. they changed the way of doing it so many times.BRIT needs to be done first (pay every bill, trash, tax etc.)Lead safe cert nextthen apply on eclipse.if the property had a rental license from before you need the affidavit of continue use. if not you need proof of use.then just a deed or HUD Lastly the rental supplemental form.

There are a lot of ways to supplement your income with side hustles doing things like uber, postmates, instacart, flipping furniture, renting a car on turo, etc.The issue with a lot of these side hustles is that they can easily create some more income for you, but only a small stream and not nearly enough to start acquiring more rental properties.Unless you are looking to start a real business on the side, I think it makes more sense to find creative ways to finance your first couple of real estate deals, vs looking for creative ways to make more money.
