@Cameron NordinA cost segregation study accelerates depreciation by classifying certain building components as personal property or land improvements, allowing them to be depreciated over shorter recovery periods (e.g., 5, 7, or 15 years instead of 27.5 or 39 years).By accelerating depreciation, cost segregation lowers your tax basis more quickly than standard straight-line depreciation.

Wherever you invest you'll want to focus on building your Core4 team of an investor-friendly real estate agent, lender, contractor, and property manager. 

Picking up 3 properties. 1 remodel/rental, 1 demolition/New construction and 1 that I'm hoping to build a duplex on.

We do build outs for cold calling and Ai texting.

Heck, even within offices, the small 1-tenant office buildings suitable for a dental practice or law practice, those are in a very different world. 

The number one mistake that I saw buyers making was jumping right into negotiating (and not very good negotiating at that) without first spending the time to build rapport.

I think you need to treat those 2-4 buildings almost like larger building looking for upside in rents and/or reductions in expenses in order to get it to cash flow.

House hacking a duplex, even with negative cash flow upfront, is a great way to build equity while learning hands-on.

I am looking at 1031 possibly or just fixed refi/or use my heloc for the time being on a value add for a building 10-40 units (market dependent on price). 

I’m able to pay cash for some houses occasionally when my savings builds up.
