The shorter the prepayment term has an impact on increasing the rate.4.

I cannot see a scenario here where he is better off re-levering to enter if he can't weather a shorter time frame; and if he can weather one, then he has the funds to put a downpayment outright on a  2nd.

As long as the buyer prioritize lower monthly payments and is confident that they can manage the long-term cost of a 40-yr loan - If the buyer plans to stay in the property for a long time.Also, be sure to weigh these two drawbacks to a 40-year loan (paying significantly more interest over the life of the loan and building equity slower as compared to a shorter loan term).

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.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.
