I see the costs of having a O&E done is about $50 and for $150 they say a staff attorney will do a complete title search.

The tenants who have been on section 8 for 5+ years tend to hold their vouchers more dear than say a first time section 8 renter because they know how precious the voucher is to them.  

As an example: Let's say a property manager runs 400 properties and that requires 1 employee per 100 properties (probably conservative.)  

If you love where you live, you can take the Equity Line and buy another property versus doing the 1031 Exchange.The fact that you have a Construction Crew available, I think you can do a 1031 Exchange to say, a 3 Family property and house hack a renovation and force appreciation from the start.

So, using cost segregation accelerating the depreciation on the home....would that out weigh the homestead deduction for, say, a 10-15 year period? 

If you ask Jay or Marcy, they might say as soon as you can afford it or make the numbers work.

If you’re house hacking in say a duplex and the mortgage is $1,0000 but the rent collected for one side is $800.

So let's say using your NOI of $22k and you are operating at lets say a 65% margin giving you a gross rent of $31k, then we multiply that by a rate factor of lets say 8 (market specific), then the value would roughly be $251k.

Of course, rates are higher than what you'd get from a bigger lender on say a $150K loan, but still pretty competitive.

I would say a big don't when it comes to seller financing is doing the deal just because seller financing is an option - your numbers still need to work.
