For example: the multifamily sponsors will usually pay the considerable extra cost required to do a cost segregation analysis and this will increase the investor depreciation in the early years (versus an individual, direct investor who often will skip doing this because of the cost).The advantage of the passive investment is that you don't do any work.

I am looking for in the MA/NH border area, Tyngsboro, MA, Dracut, MA area etc. as I am trying to have half the property tax of NH while working in NH and not having to pay that income tax.If there are any pointers anyone experienced would have, I would greatly appreciate it.

Consider this: there are an estimated 10K homes in Pacific Palisades, at least half of which were destroyed. 25% were constructed during the 60-70's and +/- 75 TOTAL were built in the past FIVE years. 

I invoiced an extra 25 dollars for part of the cleaning that I needed done extra and it was disregarded.

The only big issue I ran into is on of the basement walls needed extra support, I don't think a newer build would have that issue. 

More than half are under property management, the rest I do on my own.
