He is not trustworthy and i would stay far away from that company.Hi Kyle, is your problem with Blacktip or a specific “development firm” that’s helping you with your build/investment?  

The desire for 10% down comes from maybe being able to do it this fall instead of three years from now--financially it might not make sense, but extra time with family is priceless.

I found myself, trying to sell deals, not standing firm on the numbers.

Many/most new RE investors are relying on rent growth and appreciation to achieve their desired return.  

I have no desire now to build anything and I don't if I  ever will.

@Eric LoweIf you cannot find a local firm, reach out to these experts who operate national firms:  @Bernard Reisz, @Yonah Weiss, @Julio Gonzalez. 

My two least desirable properties the appraiser appraised them out the roof so my refi cash out was really good.

First - I think your accountant should be providing you recommendations for cost segregation companies.It it most likely, if he/she works with real estate investors, that he/she would have a couple to recommend.Second - There are two types of cost segregation studies.Type 1 - Conducted by an engineering firm where an engineer will inspect the property.

The best and largest QI firms in America can have less than stellar regional or local representation.  

All require the "lender" to be licensed in the state, for borrower to have no mortgage lates or hiccups, have different rules and change the rules whenever their investors (not government MBS these are big guns investment firms with pulse of the location where your property sits) see clouds in the sky.
