@Christina Hall It's unfortunate that your current CPA won't allow you to utilize the cost segregation study.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

For example, any expenditures on carpeting will go into a different depreciation bucket than concrete sidewalks.The harder part is the cost segregation of the original structure and you can follow one of the half-dozen ways the IRS allows you to do cost segregation.

So here are some facts;We own two stilt houses (4bed/4 bath) in ocean lakes.wr average between 135-160k in the two combined.The amenities are ALL allowed to be used by any guest(s) that stays in our homes.Ocean lakes is a resort and campground - it is secure in it's ability to keep its str usage and zoning due to same.you dont own the land.

LLC's are more used by larger investors and people who do not qualify under their personal names and have to ue business purpose loans and they require the property be in an LLC and not an individual.

REITs typically have much lower minimums and will allow you to buy in with a much smaller investment.

But then they may use that against me in court saying I wasn't allowing them the opportunity to pay.

Offering current tenants a better rate for a year is a thoughtful approach that may encourage them to stay while still allowing you to increase your overall revenue.

It allows you to leverage your notes if you have the balance sheet to make the bank comfortable.
