If anyone here is interested in learning more about advancing depreciation through an engineer-based cost segregation study feel free to reach out.

I’ve been hearing a lot about cost segregation studies and have a few questions…- What are some of the key factors that determine whether a cost segregation study makes sense?

If your new to REI we encourage investors to study the strategy.

A cost segregation study was performed on this residential condo in Herndon, VA purchased in 2017 with a depreciable cost basis of $151,518.

It’ll be helpful for you to study up on expense vs capital expenditures, and then read up on safe harbor allowances.

In any case, you can always check the numbers by doing a market study if you haven't done so already.To conclude, Mexico is a great place to invest but it's important to buy the right property at the right place at the right time and to have a plan in place for the financing, if needed.

All that being said, beggars can't be choosers, and when you're going after your first property it's more important to get your foot in the door and learn the business than it is to make a killing on your first unit - i.e. if you have to make a slim margin to get a great case study, that's better than trying to charge 30% for something you've never done before and spending a year trying to convince someone to roll the dice on you.

@Jason Boring - Jonathan Greene made some solid points!

But once I studied them more I learned that the returns can often be more predictable and strong than many other investments.

A recent study from Rentcafe found that Milwaukee is the third most competitive market for renters in the US, ahead of NY.
