Start small with a single property to learn the process and scale as you gain experience.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

@Namal Burman, your post caught my eye because I had a former client-now a good friend-who found herself in a similar situation.

Based upon the cost seg studies of my clients, a building will typically yield 25-30% of the total cost that can be segregated into personal property and land improvements.

Properties at that rental point don't exist (I have 2 rental clients now that $1200 is the least I can find & its a dump). 

With some of my clients, I've seen discounts of 30% to 90%.Here is a real-life example: I invested in a $50K note; it was second TD but with significant equity (over $200K) protecting my investment.

Benefits include immediate tax savings via bonus depreciation (60% in 2024), but depreciation recapture tax applies upon sale.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

This is exactly what I was thinking - that the one-off buyer just isn't their client avatar at all so the PM company is checked out on it.

We had the opportunity 5 years ago to purchase from a client. 

Many of my clients are selling properties that require more active management (like multifamily, SFR portfolios, etc.). 

Most of my clients:1) Put 20% down for a conventional investment loan.2) Put 10% down for a second home loan3) Something else, either hard money, DSCR, or portfolio loans.These are the most common ways.
