First off, the approach that was utilized in the cost segregation study might not be explicitly mentioned within the cost segregation study report.

@Matt McCurdy We have lots of clients that utilize this strategy.

In this study, new construction is defined as a habitable structure requiring load-bearing features and MEP utilities (mechanical, electrical & plumbing)Below shows which cities have had the most activity:Question: Do you see activity increasing for the rest of Q1?

It’s not about leaving BRRRR behind, it’s about expanding investment strategies while still utilizing what works.As for investors passing on distressed properties, it’s not that they don’t want to deal with permits, contractors, and tenants—it’s that they’ve realized they can apply the same effort to larger asset classes with a bigger return.

Hey Michael, there's quite a few programs that I utilize for clients of mine who only desire a 10% down payment.

Buy box: Location: Approx. 30 min drive to Boston Heights, for workNeighborhoods: Decent walkability score - not far from shops/restaurants/trendy neighborhoodsIdeal tenants: Close to hospitals/universities/schools for professionals/students/familiesBudget: $175-250K - Buying w/conventional loan, 5% down/ approx 20K reno.Property type: MFH 2-4 units - preferably side-by-side, with a yard we can fence for our dogUnits: 3+/1+ - better if 1.5/2 bath per unitTimeline: Plan to live there for 2 years, but possibly only 1 year if we find another investment opportunityGoal: Focus on appreciation - would like to see cash flow in year 2-3 (the year we move out), including overhead (Vacancies, Maintenance, Utilities) and budgeting in PM if eventually we don't manage ourselvesValue add: Opportunity for some forced appreciation, but not a full reno - cosmetic upgrades and updating kitchens/baths while we live in one unit.

We utilize this for different industries as well but our main niche is real estate since we are investors.
