College students may appreciate a quiet study area or a place to visit with guests while their roommate studies in the apartment.Maybe there's a need for a coffee shop or other small business that needs very little room but also provides a service your tenants would be interested in?

I’ve been hearing a lot about cost segregation studies and have a few questions…- What are some of the key factors that determine whether a cost segregation study makes sense?

You can look into a cost seg study to accelerate some of this depreciation.Beyond the basic deductions, keeping a detailed record of shared expenses and understanding the split-use rules can maximize deductions.For house hacks, depreciation is typically taken on the rental portion only (50% in your case).

& different parts of the asset can be depreciated on different schedules.To find out the useful lifespan of each component, you do a cost segregation study to analyze all of the parts.The raw land can't be depreciated so you start by giving that a value first.But other items can be depreciated on a quicker timeline.A roof, road, sidewalk, fencing, walls, gates, doors, latches, flooring, air conditioners, pavers, curbing, landscaping, etc.The IRS has a depreciation schedule for each type.Some parts are 5 yrs.

A cost segregation study was performed on this residential condo in Herndon, VA purchased in 2017 with a depreciable cost basis of $151,518.

I received incredible advice on my last post and completed a series of case studies in the SF Bay Area.I wanted to dive deeper into the community's recent experiences about renovation items with stronger ROIs and appeal to end buyers.

But again, read the offering documents carefully as you study the investment opportunities, don’t rely on the marketplace or any random (perhaps uneducated customers google reviews) to do your diligence for you.

Study hard, like on here on BP and maybe some YTube. 2. 

ok thank you . i will study this

That means taking your time to study what you want to do (in this case what type of investing you are most interested in) and speak to those who have done it successfully.
