Right now (Q3 2024) everything seems overbanked/overbought.Currently, my focus has been purposely broad but currently split between: A) SF business (wholesaling/rehab) I was asked to take over (on almost no notice – am still badly catching up) and B) Small balance MF and mobile/manufactured housing (<~50-100 units for physical/operational value add)I have made some progress on each but not where I would like to be although I have just recently gotten involved in the sub-institutional space again.

They have never owned rentals or investment properties but have no offers and moving out of state. 

House hacking offers lower entry costs, building equity, and allowing you to cover a significant portion of your mortgage.

Maybe it wont continue to grow as rapid, but I see no reason for a downturn currently. 

There are also no loan numbers.

Is it possible to do a cost segregation study this year (2024) and retroactively take 100% bonus depreciation from that cost seg since the property was placed into service in 2022? 

It cash flows (rent less PM, taxes,insurance, no mortgage pmt) for Approximately $1500/month.

So that will be $35/month in costs + that you will need to account for who paysJust my 2 cents

No experience and the credit facility or bank facility is out of the question.
