I am currently on a 6-month digital nomad trip to scratch the travel itch now so that I can live in a house hack for the requisite year without going stir-crazy (well, maybe a few short domestic trips throughout the year if I find a good deal on a flight).

Much quicker turnaround timesIncreased accuracyReduction in costsCan more quickly adapt to changes in the tax codeCan be utilized for small or large properties.While technology and a digital transformation creates efficiencies in the cost segregation study process, a tax expert is still crucial to the process.

I was in love with micro lending until the account hit 5 digits and I started to get nervous, so I opened a Prosper account to build that and when that hit 5 figures I started saving for my first rental. 

@Alex Craig  one part of my e book on buying out of area rentals goes into insurance and these very issues.I suspect this is going to get much worse before it gets better.. how do you rehab a house with the tenant in them.. maybe a light turn over thats it..this person looks like made a cardinal error in buying low end rental in bad neighborhood probably becasue the numbers looked so good..
