These areas often get overshadowed by the excitement of finding deals, but they are absolutely essential to the long-term success and sustainability of your investments.A thoughtful tax strategy ensures you’re maximizing available deductions, leveraging the most advantageous structures, and ultimately keeping more of what you earn.

Prorating personal vs. rental use: If you moved in later in the year, you’d need to prorate deductions between personal and rental use.Other tax considerations: Beyond cost segregation, there are other strategies you could explore with a CPA, such as deducting expenses like property management, maintenance, and mortgage interest, or planning for future rental vs. personal use conversions to maximize tax benefits.Because this can become nuanced, it’s best to sit down with a CPA experienced in real estate rentals and cost segregation to ensure everything is allocated correctly.

@Andy Horobec, I think the co-living situation is great for some & indifferent for others that depend on the situation.In general, I'd always ensure that any potential property consider still meets the general criteria for what you consider is a deal as if you were renting it out as a regular SFH.Many people got caught up with this in regards to AirBnB, then I feel like oversaturated the market.

@Ben Daniel you're really just glossing over the questions I asked.There's a big difference between #'s 2 & 3 - which you can use to better ID problems.If you're not willing to put the time into researching proper answers and digging even deeper into the numbers, then you'll just have to live with your problems - or just sell.

Use comps you’d bet on.Rehab: Scope needs vs wants; add a contingency; tie each line to either rent lift or ARV lift.Rent: Pro forma with today’s realistic rent, not best case; include true expenses and reserves.Refi: Model two terms scenarios; check seasoning and expected LTV so you know how much cash you can pull; stress-test rate and appraisal.Repeat: Ensure you still like cash flow after the new loan and you’re not overlevered.Use a simple spreadsheet: inputs for ARV, purchase, rehab, holding/closing, rent/expenses, and refi terms; it spits out cash left in, cash flow, and ROI.

It's a valuable service, so ensure you're getting your money's worth by reviewing the firm's process for each task.
