The cost segregation studies that typically yield the highest credits and deduction are for properties valued at $150,000 or more or that have lots of added features such as components to operate or high-end custom finishes.

I would recommend a custom term that is about 18 months. 

Customer Service integration to handle tenant issues, monitoring of Mechanical issues where the A.I. can proactively do something to ensure it's well maintained or to be able to fix an issue, etc.My Portfolio has basically been self-running except for occasional P.M. 

You need a PML who knows how to make you both money as the deals can get very custom, very quickly.

All rent comes in and goes to the "broker/owner" of the franchise, who then passes it on to the property owners. 

@Mary Lopez - second on using a mortgage broker. 

My realtor provided me with three names of folks he has worked with which is helpful.I spoke with the first one (who is a mortgage broker so not tied to one particular bank) and he said I would need to put 25% down on a vacation/2nd home, or at least 20%.

Is it segregated (only my funds in the account)- do you have an attorney on staff that reviews exchange docs and keeps them current - what is the typical time for your staff to complete an exchange ( you want to get a feel for if they are understaffed and can they get the work done on your time frame)- how many exchanges do you do a month- what is your errors and omissions insurance through, can I get a copy- what is the amount of your fidelity bond - for each occurrence- what protections are in place to prevent wire fraud- will my funds be used by the company for outside investments (goes back to the type of account funds are held in)- who will be my contact during the exchange (goes to customer service, you want one contact who you can reach by telephone)Investors should keep in mind that it is their money they are placing with a QI to hold for a short period of time and be sure they feel comfortable with the company they choose to perform this role. 

- Troy 2 years ago I had successfully completed half a dozen email campaigns to commercial mortgage brokers.  

I know it's not particularly close to Altoona, but where we do business in Pittsburgh we use Broker's Settlement Services.
