@Steve Crisp There are a lot of variables that go into play as to whether you could benefit from a cost segregation study or not.

The owner doesn't really benefit much except for not having to pay a mortgage anymore?

Are there benefits of joining a specific brokerage or are they all about the same?

and that was owner occ.. todays rates are pretty normal actually. what you can do if you want though is find a really good HML and let them place a loan for you making 10 to 12% while your wait for things to change to a situation that you feel you want to move forward be more net return than buying a rental thats for sure. of course no tax bene's but there really is not that much tax benefit on one rental.. so just some alternatives. 

If you could be so kind, please provide me a list of benefits I would gain with a Property Manager.Again, thank you for your feedback.

Private funding from a relative may provide flexible terms and reduced financial risk, but formal agreements are necessary, and interest paid is deductible for you but taxable for them.Traditional investment property loans offer stability and tax benefits like deductible interest and property taxes but require larger down payments.

It has almost zero benefit to have it to just represent yourself. 

Been thinking about investing in one of these sites, but want to hear which other wholesalers have had more success with and which offers the most benefits versus the cost.

I think are benefits/drawbacks to both scenarios. 

New tenant security scheme that only benefits Suncoast and the tenant - leaves owner paying up at move out.
