Good morning BiggerPockets,I am a new investor/wholesaler and I am trying to understand the most effective way of finding the ARV of a property without having access to the MLS?

@Nicholas CrumThe guru instructor stated it was 10 days for banks, 30 days for the auto industry, and 2 other industries I forgot that are 30 days.  

A cost segregation study looks at the overall building that you purchased and breaks it down as much as possible.The purpose of this is to increase the depreciation expense.Without a cost segregation study, you are depreciating the property over two items(Building and Land).However, a cost segregation study might identify items such as fencing which might be eligible to be depreciated over 15 years instead of 27.5 years.Depending on the year that the building was placed into service, you might be able to take bonus depreciation on certain items.The follow-up question to ask your CPA is will the cost segregation study help me, and by how much?

Good morning, im a local realtor in the mcallen area.

Sometimes we help coordinate, just depends on the issue and the property.
