The maximum is the bank's decision (80% of the ARV), but the amount you apply for is your decision.I see that makes sense.Now you touched on a question that I am wondering about.How does an investor know how much money to pull out of a refinance to invest in their next property.Do you suggest I already have a 2nd property lined up and know the exact amount I need to purchase the 2nd property including the rehab bid so I have an idea of how much money I need for my next project?

I'd make sure just how much extra tax benefit will open up for you annually compared to the cost of the study.You are exactly right - a cost seg will get deferred in a 1031 exchange as long as the property you are purchasing is roughly the same components of things that were cost segregated.

Do this quickly because some counties have a time limit on when you can appeal.I recommend you research the market for:- Comparable Property Sales- Condition of your property, including anything that may affect your property's value- If you are really serious, an expert appraisal may be worth the effort.

So we never bought anything that was more than 75% of ARV current condition.

The property was in horrible condition, pet odor, lots of deferred maintenance etc.

Given that the property was worth $390K in its current condition, I saw an opportunity to make the numbers work while keeping my upfront costs low.Instead of increasing my cash offer, I negotiated a $25K down payment with the seller carrying the balance for two years through owner financing.

Once you know exactly what you are looking for it becomes easier to figure out the best way to achieve your goals.Just my three cents worth

Their cost structures are significantly different from what new investors face today.Maybe I haven't yet reached the section that addresses different market conditions and interest rate environments, but I’d love to hear insights from those with more experience.

There is a time and place for DSCR loans, depending on exactly what you are looking at.

From my observations, a degree may not equate exactly to a career in real estate.
