Cost segregation is best for long-term holds and should be carefully planned with a CPA to align with your broader tax strategy.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I left with a sniffle, with bleeding fingers, cracked lips, and a perpetual risk of a nosebleed in the heart of Denver winters that get so cold, my toes start to turn blue after 5 minutes outside. 

My first house had a tenant in it when I bought the house and they just up and left and left the house in rough shape.

Inherited tenant really left me feeling like I should’ve bought it wmpty.

Left me feeling like a basically have a retail/fulfillment person on my team so I'm a big fan and would recommend giving them a shot, especially if you're in a similar position as I was: Needing to furnish an STR quickly and cost-efficiently. 

That said, check CHA’s payment standards for your unit size and area to see how they align with your target rent.

Ensure the sublease is explicitly permitted in a written agreement with your friend and aligns with local STR laws.

Number 2, a lot of wholesalers forget that building a business is a long-term thing and they get greedy leaving no room left in the deal, #3, make sure you've disclosed evertything to all parties.

If there's a family member or friend in a similar situation, and you can both align on the initial plan (location, home type, price, usage/occupancy, etc) you can pretty easily get a co-ownership agreement in place and even a joint mortgage.The benefit here is it might open up your ability to buy a larger place in a nicer area which could lead to a faster rate of appreciation and overall better living environment. 

we had a few left in our inventory and they each were sold to a house hacker.. great investment for a house hacker.
