Most cost segregation firms will provide a free cost/benefit analysis quote to help you determine if the tax benefits from the study will outweigh the costs.

This news sent the deal’s value into a tailspin.At this point, I was looking at barely breaking even.

I know that's not a huge cash flow, and any repairs could make me break even.

also look at the tongues, some are very thin and break easily. 

@Brandon Croucier is giving you solid info on finding an experienced and honest mortgage broker who can shop your exact scenario both ways, with the rehab and without and break down the benefits of each with all fees so you can see an apples to apples comparison. 

The city wants to have "Neighborhood Anchors Points" consisting of Mixed-Use and Retail/commercialVisual of all land bank properties The area I will focus in.A break down of cost to purchase all Land Bank properties on each street. 

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

As the investor gains experience, they are not only able to more successfully foresee the “bumps” along the way, able to handle recessions, temporary negative cash flow, unforeseen capital expenditures without panicking, but will also recognize the opportunities necessary to turn a loss into a break even.

I'm reaching out to Baselane's leadership to put some sense in them about good banking practices and honoring legally bound leases, that they ended by breaking through this action.

Now that I'm retired I "eat" some of the profits, but because I did this for so long while I was working my total leverage is about 25-30% with a bunch of properties free and clear.
