Furnishings, such as the $35,000 you spent on furnishings, would generally be considered personal property rather than real property and would not be included in the cost of the property.In a cost segregation study, the goal is to identify and classify the various components of a property as either real property (land and buildings) or personal property (furnishings, equipment, etc.).

It belongs in the classifieds section.

While this may exempt it from being classified as a rental activity, active participation remains a requirement, necessitating compliance with three tests: spending 500 hours on the property, dedicating at least 100 hours (and more than any other participant), and performing all the necessary work needed.Additionally, long-term viability and consideration of depreciation recapture are important concerns.

It reminds me regularly to classify my drives as personal or business.

If the listed concerns are as bad as it gets, I'd hardly classify the work as shoddy.

@Alex U. are you looking at commercial comps since this would be classified as a commercial property. 

@Kaleb Ahonen May make the most sense to post in the classified section of BiggerPockets.

A Google or Facebook search might yield some good resources.I will post in the BP classifieds about this project to see if that helps.

The large scale BRRR can be tricky, but having a JV from the start will help.My clients down in GA are doing well with a BRRR centered strategy, but focused on one, or both of these things to cash flow quickly:1) 2-4 unit properties2) Section 8In most lending circles, your 2-4 units are going to be classified in the same category as a SFH, so to rehab a hand full of those, you don't take the same kind of rate hit as the 5+ unit properties, but you also don't have the same kind of "experience" issues as you do with larger developments.
