For example, if you buy a water heater with a longer warranty they are more expensive or if you need to replace the expansion tank etc along with it. $2500 is OUTRAGEOUS, in my opinion. 

For example, BSX faced 17% drawdown yesterday on earnings guidance.

We see so many different entity structures for rental portfolios in our REI Bookkeeping Firm.

The estimated tax savings that these cost segregation companies provide are normally invalid as they don't know your whole picture.For example, the tax savings of $68,000 is laughable.Your income of about $100,000 is likely going to be taxed somewhere in the 22% tax bracket(Unsure of your tax filing status).Which would mean, even if you can take 100% of the losses, that your savings would be around $22,000.There are two different types of cost segregation studies - Studies where Engineers are stopping by the property and creating a report for you - Starts at $2,500Studies based on completing a questionnaire - Starts at $450I normally recommend one study over another in certain situations.best of luck.

See, it's a pain.....and Charles, I'm thinking that you can go from a standard depreciation and then to segregation, but after that is elected, I don't think you can go back...or can you?

It is all about adding value and improving cash-on-cash returns.It is also worth checking market trends to see the year-over-year growth rate and run a pro forma to project how much appreciation and rental income increases you might see over time.Your savings and financial discipline put you in a great spot, and I would just encourage you to explore how you can make your money work harder for you instead of locking it all into one property.

Question about the aprizel... i heard many times here and in any podcast I'm listening the best way to get good aprizel report after you do your renovation for example to do brrrr is keep everything documented.. my question what donyou mean exactly??

For example if your half of the value is $350,000, then just take a larger percentage of the other properties.I would also be curious if there was anything in the divorce documents on how to address this.

The one thing I would add is to run the actual turnover math before deciding how aggressive to go, because the cost of getting it wrong is higher than most people realize.Here is a real example from our properties in Dorchester.

I would suggest shopping around and seeing which one will accept only Market Rent value.
