I've been in construction for almost 20 years at this point and I've decided to start my own business.

All that opportunity cost incurred because I didn’t feel ready to go big.  

Lots of new businesses moving in to Columbus.

I was thinking of using these funds for the closing costs instead.

Take equity out of one property will cost me about 1K a month and with the mortgages on the new purchases, I will probably only cash flow 200-300 per home.

Think of it more as being an owner-operator of a small hotel if anything, it's much more of a hands-on business.

(not counting the state LLC cost) I am not going to respond to your SDIRA/LLC consulting service unless you are a lawyer or can quote me a cost. 

But, you can't determine quality by simply what they charge.....as there are plenty of terrible agents who also charge a lot.You'll need to determine what value they bring to you personally and do a cost benefit analysis of whether the cost is worth it to you or not.

So....... with my previous CPA (who has since unexpectedly retired) we did a cost segregation study on an asset that was placed into service in 2021 which broke down the bonus depreciable items into 3 buckets, a 15 year bucket, a 7 year bucket, a 5 year bucket and the rest would be on a 39 year straight line depreciation schedule as it is a short term rental.
