What is being confused in there is some of the lost note affirmative defenses that have come up in foreclosure suits along with a gross misunderstanding of the ramifications of the "Robo-Signing" of 2010.

If they do not qualify because of poor credit or income issues compared to being self employed etc there are differences - but typically people don’t qualify due to poor credit and people will seller finance to these borrowers thinking they woke up at a holiday inn and got a finance degree when in reality they repeat their past mistakesRemember the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result

Brian Davis: @Eric LoweThere's a company called Rental Property Refund that does cost segregation studies virtually, based on self-reported data from you.

@Sherry TsaiIf you choose to self manage, it would be the one closest to where you live.

The local branch manager got involved, couldn't understand what I was explaining either, didn't want to admit it, and got defensive and shut down when I tried having my attorney explain it to her in a different way.

If you go too low I would either recommend self managing or liquidate it. 

If you just handled it on your own/contractor self-mitigation, you would need to have some proof it was handled.

I purchased a larger Self-Storage/Office property in FL where the son's of the original owner wanted bright shiny new office building, not Dad's old junk. 

I am going to continue educating my self while I get enough for the DP and other expenses.

I hope you are asking two separate unrelated questions, because there's no point in doing cost segregation for properties held inside your self-directed solo 401k, save for some very rare exceptions.Some of the Bigger Pockets experts who operate reputable costs segregation companies are @Bernard Reisz, @Yonah Weiss and @Julio GonzalezSome of the Bigger Pockets experts who offer Solo 401k administrator services are @Dmitriy Fomichenko, again @Bernard Reisz and @Brian EastmanReach out to them and see if they can help.
