Well to make a long story short, I'm waiting to hear back about a job I was promised from a friend who happens to be the hiring manager.

Andrew, your lawyer was talking about a cost segregation study.It involves identify and separating short life assets from your new property basis and depreciating them separately, thus accelerating depreciation.For example, you can depreciate a 200k property over 27.5 years, ORUsing cost segregation, you determine that you have 20k in 5-year assets within the home(carpet, fridge, AC, etc...)You can depreciate the 20k in assets over the next 5 years and depreciate the 180k for the property over 27.5.

My short term goals make it necessary for me to combine these two facets as I have: to purchase what will not only make a good "forever home" for me AND a rental.

Before the actual foreclosure auction, the owner is still in legal title to the property and is the only one that can sell the property.Now in a short sale situation where the lender discounts the amount owed, you are buying the property before the auction from the owner but with the approval of the lender.

This would be a short term investment averaging three years, then the resident will purchase the property.I have not factored closing costs into the questions below, simply, becuase they could be really radically different.

In short, you leverage the company's relationships at a fraction of the price of traditional property management.

It went to 72.)In the summer he wears shorts, a casual type shoe or flip flops/sandals, and a button up or polo shirt.

I wasn't even going to graduate because I was short a few courses.

My friend had a short sale offer on a property for 165k which was refused but they auctioned it with a starting bid of 153k, go figure.

I've learned loss mitigation and short sales.E.
