I’ve got great tenants in my SFH so I spend very little time on that every month but in my market the Multis just make more sense.

Multiply that by 8 properties and that adds up quicklyAt this point I've amassed around $150k in debt, I'm spending hours a day trying to find large multifamily properties with nothing to show for it and the whole passive income dream I was sold seems to be a huge lie.

Their fees were less than Anderson but I've heard mixed reviews with both companies.

If you're earning primarily W-2 wages, interest, or dividends, those attractive depreciation deductions from your cost segregation study will be suspended.Think about it this way: You might spend $10,000-$15,000 on a cost segregation study, expecting immediate tax savings, only to find those deductions suspended indefinitely.Does this mean cost segregation studies are worthless?

Unless you have $5 - 10k MONTHLY to spend on marketing this is what you need to do to have any chance for success with wholesaling.
