A cost segregation study was performed on this auto repair shop in Nevada with a depreciable cost basis of $1,250,000.

The CE Shop is a good overall resource for courses for pre-licensing, but there are a million of them and they all generally do the same thing.

This website would include a walk-through video, more photos, information on what to do in the area, shopping recommendations, places to go, and things to see.

When you sell, you will likely get appreciation - but that is not the main purpose of your investment.Direct SF ownership might be safer - also, it might not be safer.   

Not every lender is the same, continue shopping around until you find one that meets your needs.

These are all ways to add value, maybe when you bought the home for 200k, it is worth 225k, then you put that 25k difference into renovations, and now maybe your home is worth 250-300k…I would sit down and write up a detailed plan and talk with the right people before shopping!

They will shop the available options for you and present you the best options while pointing out where the policies differ from each other.

I would also consider scaling back major expenses like car payments, lavish shopping, etc.

Just trying to find the right balance of what is a safer way to approach it on my first deal.

Find a knowledgeable and trustworthy broker in your market that can shop amongst the various providers and find you the best deal while still making sure you have the protection you need.
