A cost segregation study is a strategic tax planning tool that separates the assets that have a shorter useful life and can be depreciated over 5, 7 and 15 years from the residential rental property or nonresidential real property that are depreciated over 27.5 and 39 years, respectively.

It's a great way to begin looking at these kinds of questions from a more strategic nature and how you position said accounts. 

I explain best using concepts everyone is familiar with.Imagine me saying "Oh so by slapping some propellers to some Aluminium wings you can build an aircraft...well, how about cooling, How about low-pressure protection to the passengers, how about .. a lot of things that become an issue when you take one step forward.So to answer your question...Ads IS indeed a solution but there ARE some disadvantages to ads.Less than 10% of the population clicks on paid ads...The reason why is that people now know that an ad is on top because they paid for it.

I also included a link to their strategic plan, not because it provides specifics, but because I think understanding the mindset of the university as they grow and provide a resource for the STEM industry is useful in looking at the long-term impact of the changes.https://www.lamar.edu/news-and-events/news/2017/05...http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/education/a...https://www.lamar.edu/_files/documents/about-lu/st...The gentrification issue is something I'm curious about too.

I’d love for you to poke holes in my logic or tell me if you feel I’m making a mistake (any feedback is welcomed).A bit of quick background on myself and the situation I’m in, which I feel will provide context behind what I’m looking to achieve.Current situation* I’m 43, married, and have two great kids (4 and 6), my wife works, but my W2 earnings are counted upon* I’m not looking to replace my W2 job, but instead strategically invest money from my high-yield savings (4.25%)* I have two healthy 401Ks, a good amount in the stock market, but I don’t want to continue pouring my saved cash into the stock market, I’d like to diversify more* I own my home, about 14 years left on a mortgage with a good amount of equity (which I don’t want to touch for now)* I have about $250,000 that I’d like to start to put into buying real estateGoals/availability/knowing thyself * I’d like to retire in 15 years, so my play is more toward equity, any amount of positive cash flow is icing on the cake.
