Britt,My firm has evaluated some smaller properties (under $500k) in the past for cost segregation, and it generally does not cost justify moving forward, since the benefits are small, and typically the tax liability on the income is minimal if any.

The typical fee they charge up-front is $4,000, but they were able to get $5,000 out of me because I was new and nieve to the commercial lending agency. 

I'm speaking of co-living in a typical A or B level neighborhood house, so instead of a 20-25% down payment, we are speaking of a 1-5% down payment. 

Anything under 4 is             typically considered a seller's market, while 4 to 6 months of supply is typically considered a balanced market.There are over 100 major cities on this list - I wanted to see how Raleigh and Durham stacked up (and North Carolina overall).

If I had to leave a takeaway from this post before getting too far in it would be that whatever goals are had you have, we have these goals for a reason and typically it does not go exactly as planned but even if it doesn't go as planned, we can pick up where we left off and give it a fresh start.

@Joe Gellenbeck Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Adriana Medina, a typical landlord is not a skilled detective/investigator.

I understand this is not a requirement, but I have never received a damaged unit from an inherited tenant or any legal issues.

Sharing this idea in case others can comment on it.I agree, the US is more friendly about receiving investments from foreignors.You are planning to move back to Spain?
