Things I've got down to minimal effort or fully automated: * Rent, security deposit, and fee collection* Basic accounting and tax packet creation* Listing vacancies* Lease signing* Applications, credit, and background checksThings I'm still dealing with directly ad-hoc or don't have a well defined process or solution in place for:* Requests and communication with tenants* Finding and coordinating service providers for maintenance and repair work* Scheduling showings and getting prospective tenants to make their appointments* Tenant turnover for move in and out* Keeping up with legal changes and lease template updates* Setting rent amounts* Lease enforcement - tenants are responsible for things like yardwork, routinely get letters from the city about weeds / tall grass, etc.Questions for the group:* What am I missing if I were to make out a checklist of an "automated property"?

I have written before about the pitfalls of cost segregation, for example here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/831924-beware... and here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1075919-five-...While cost segregation is an excellent and powerful strategy when used correctly and under the right circumstances, it is certainly not some master key that unlocks all doors all the time.

Equity plays can turn into better deals down the line with lower interest rates and a refi, with rent appreciation - where you can raise your rents because they may currently be lower than market, and with market appreciation - where the entire rental market moves upwards in rents.But you want to take a serious look at your challenges there... because there can be many - especially if you are a limited funds investor.Equity plays really only work well when you have enough income where you can cover the unexpected.  

Thereis  too much info for here but given your stated information, I'd do the chapt 7, save what I can, and move on.If you mentioned you owned a house, the recommendation would be different.

If you are looking to get cash now I would move forward with a delayed finance.If you are looking to pull out the most amount of money possible, I'd look at a cash out refinance.Another option would be to do a bridge delayed finance, pull out some cash now, then refinance again 6 months down the line when the seasoning period is up.I would love to connect and share some ideas as I am working a couple similar loans as is right now.

Is there a webinar that really moved the needle with getting started?

The Salon and barbershop can be sub-divided by a door between the two, but the door was taken out to keep a open concept between the salon prior to me moving into the location. 

One thought process was to basically take a PFS statement and put it to pictures and key metric data with the properties I own.
