Here are some key criteria for evaluating a Cost Segregation provider:-  Seek out a Certified Cost Segregation Professional- Consider their experience with tangible property regulations.

It's also important to evaluate different loan options, such as conventional, FHA, or hard money loans, to find the best fit for your investment strategy.

I added value to the deal by carefully evaluating the property's potential for increased rental income and implementing strategic improvements.

The underwriting is based primarily off of the property, not you as the borrower so the main factors evaluated are property value, DSCR ratio (cash flow), LTV, and FICO.Also, I am from Boston and know the area well.

It allows you to access funds as needed without the immediate commitment of a large lump sum, like with a cash-out refinance.Given your focus on maintaining positive cash flow, carefully evaluating the terms of any HELOC offer is essential.

Here's my #1 dissatisfier in dealing with agents: Most have NO idea how to evaluate investment properties.I HATE when agents bring me a so-called "deal" without having first determined whether it actually makes sense financially.Then, when I do run the numbers and calculate a cash flow of $50/mo and a cash-on-cash return of 3%, I feel violated, like my time has been totally wasted.And, that's the last "deal" I'll ever consider from that agent!

Until then I just continue to learn, and evaluate deals, save money.

I've developed a real estate agent on the island of St Croix (Cynthia Taylor) to help evaluate the properties and guide my offer.
