I need you to find me an owner carry deal that cash flows a minimum of $500 per month with zero down, zero interest on the note, needs to have at least 20% equity from day one.

You can charge an increased deposit, pet rent, or require the tenant to carry pet insurance. 

My first six Section 8 tenants I did not get paid for first four months AFTER the tenant moved in, so I had to cover those carrying costs out of my pocket.

Do I understand right that you carry the remaining depreciation from your upstream property into the DSTs?

Are you allowed to use let’s say 230K of the deduction in the year it was realized to bring taxable income from W-2 down to 70k and carry forward the 70k to the following year.

Plus you will need to carry your own team or be in good with sub contractors which means you need volume.  

Oh by the way, up until i started selling, i hadn't paid income taxes on any of the rental profits for almost 14 years and even after I started selling, my carry forward losses covered everything up until last year when they finall ran out.If you buy right, sfh rentals are the best long term investment you will ever make.

I think working with an insurance broker is a great way to go to derive the most competitive quote at no cost to you.I also think that you can increase your deductible up to say 5k as well as request your tenants carry renters insurance.

So I figured that if I could avoid negative cash flow, the other two sources would carry us until rates declined and we could refinance to lower interest expenses.

To me, I don't see why anyone wouldn't do cost segregation even if it ends up being held as a carry forward loss.
