I pull permits for removal of load bearing walls, addition of bathrooms or bedrooms, addition of footage.

Quote from @Bob Dole: All,Apologies for the newb question, but I just heard about cost segregation and have been reading up about it online.My understanding is this (and please correct me where I'm wrong):Pros: -accelerate depreciation, front load (vs. just a straight line over 39 years) -save money on taxes because of the depreciationCons: -if I sell the property, the recapture will be larger -not recommended if you flip propertiesSo hypothetical situation:-Majority of our income is W2 based, let's say it's $500k-Net income from commercial rental is $100k-Income from dividends and interests is $100k-Both of us are full time W2, so non-prof real estate (but this can change  -- please see below)So we're hypothetically grossing $700k a year. 

Is it better to be  referred to one than to continue wasting time looking for one?

You'd be a dang fool to waste your energy or effort's on ANY US standard rental more or less Sec8, are you kidding me?! 

Key Check gave me credit and debt load, which was surprising, as most other methods people don't share.

Total waste of my time and his.  

And, yes, there are years of data points to validate that just within my office, tens of thousands of dollars of wasted appraisal and inspection fees for deals (mostly not mine, thankfully) that had 0.00% of going anywhere but the "Loan Application Declined" bin. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Waste of time.

For me, if I wasted even half a day trying to find one rather than buying this one it just would not have made sense.
