WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES UTILIZED IN A COST SEGREGATION STUDY?

If you see utilities increasing, is there a way that you can push this on to the tenant?

Like others have mentioned, there’s appreciation, depreciation, leverage, and tax benefits that produce a compelling risk adjusted return. 

The property had a first mortgage, as well as a second mortgage, both from the same purchase money lender.After receiving the trustee’s deed and recording it, I discovered two “Independent Solar Energy Producer Contracts” recorded against the home.

  $31k after tax annual income - $11k rent = $20k or $1,600 per month net income left to cover all other expenses (utilities, cars, insurance, groceries, kids, activities, etc.).Median household income for 38128 is $41k or $36k after tax

Estimated about $25,000 including utility hookups.  

It is better suited to someone who loves Costa Rica and would like a property that they can spend a few months a year at if they would like and still cash flow after all maintenance and utilities and taxes.  

Renegotiating some utility contracts (garbage and removing some on site office paid internet/phone bills) 5.

Think there is some substantial validity in this, but do you think it could potentially be utilized in a different fashion?

Thinking about 1031 option and buying more income producing properties possibly in other parts of the country.
