@Justin Woods In order to utilize a cost segregation study, the property must be an investment property and placed in service.

Instead, can you just cover the utilities or go to the laundromat.

Just because the cost of the utility is included, doesn't mean you can control if it works or doesn't work.

While I don’t suggest that the smaller type investor purchase and utilize “exotic” vehicles like foreign asset protection trusts, family limited partnerships with outside controls, or Byzantine or convoluted maze of ownership entities, the more simple strategies of using Series LLCs, self directed retirement plans, and paying off their home mortgage to the extent of the Federal BK homestead exemptions can insure that a plaintiff attorney never even considers going after them.  

We utilize Buildium which seems to pretty organized and easy for our tenants pay their rent through. 

I know many successful investors that utilize it and some have higher-end properties in areas like Maitland.

Utilize Meetup.com or Eventbrite for real estate investing groups, BiggerPockets forums, CTPOA, and local events to connect with landlords, agents, and property managers.

Operating Expenses includes taxes, vacancy, utilities, insurance, maintenance, and management fee.

From utilizing 1031 exchanges to offsetting gains with losses, the right approach can make all the difference in your investment journey.

Tenants pay all utilities.
