This took us from a projected breakeven year 1 (including vacancy and maintenance allowances) to pro-forma year 1 of $280/unit net monthly cash flow after all expenses including debt service.In addition to this we are doing a cost segregation report and anticipate additional tax savings year 1 of up to $24k by utilizing bonus depreciation.

Another avenue is to go after commercial lending (more or less the same aforementioned idea but gives you a different "category" to ask for) which again doesn't following the conforming rules.Good luck.
