It always seems to take longer, cost more and cause more stress than I plan 

@Caley Crossman Several of my clients have successfully used a Self-Directed Plan (RRSP, TFSA, etc.) to hold a mortgage against their own personal residential property. 

And most of the clients I do fix and flip funding for in the same markets wont deal with these assets either been there done that and they like market rent and market tenants..

If they didn't have access to their kitchen and the hotel didn't have a kitchenette, they are impacted with higher costs to eat while they were displaced. 

As a real estate agent and an investor, I am on the market daily and explore opportunities for myself and my clients.

I have had conflicting advice from cost segregation specialist versus our CPA.

The roof and the floors were not huge costs to us the buyer, as the seller filed an insurance claim for water damage just prior to our offer closing.

Compare what you see to the deed etc - there could be a shared driveway or some other easement.Also if the building is occupied you will be dealing with an eviction as well so you will have to factor that into your costs/bid.

A cookie cutter first deal looks like:Purchase: 65k - 90kRehab: 50k - 75kARV = Project Cost/.7Neighborhood: B or betterRehab type: cosmeticAvg Days on Market in zip code: 30 or lessThat's an example of a very safe deal for a lender to fund for a newbie.For a 0 experience expect to pay 11.5%+ in interest.Keep in mind the cost of a project's lifecycle. 

He’s helped quite a few of my clients in the past and I’m sure will be a great asset to you as you begin your journey.
