The BEST method for real estate investing is very simple: increase earnings, reduce expenditures, save, and invest from your own funds.You should focus on increasing earnings and learning how to manage your budget.

It is possible to get a cost segregation study on a property in the year after it is placed into service.A complex form, Form 3115, change in accounting method, needs to be completed which mentions that depreciation was incorrectly calculated in the past and that you are now calculated it correctly(from the cost seg).

Quote from @Nick Cikity: Looking to start my long distance investing with the BRRRR method or simply buy and hold for single family or small multifamily (2-4) under 250k.Wondering what cities are looking good out there for low median home price, higher cash on cash (9+%) and an appreciating market.Been looking at tennesse and still hearing a lot about Ohio?

Jackson, Bozeman, Driggs, and even early Sun Valley all had strong local pushback tied to agriculture, hunting seasons, and quality of life.

I’m specifically interested in teams or companies that:Understand real estate (wholesaling, off-market, investors, agents, etc.)Can handle motivated seller conversations intelligentlyDeliver consistent appointment quality, not just call volumeIntegrate well with common tools (PropStream, BatchLeads, ReadyMode, Follow Up Boss, REISift, etc.)Have real-world ROI, not just marketing claimsIf you’ve used cold callers successfully, I’d love to hear:The company or team you recommendApproximate cost per caller/hourWhat type of lists you’re calling (absentee, probate, high equity, tired landlords, etc.)Realistic results (leads, appointments, deals per month)What you’d do differently if you were starting overBonus points if you’ve tested multiple providers and can compare quality, accents, training, and conversion rates.I’m happy to share what I’m seeing on my end as well once I compile feedback.Appreciate any insight from people actually doing volume, not just theory.Thanks in advance.

My caution would be, what quality tenants will you get? 

The goal isn’t “cheapest maintenance,” it’s removing yourself from the decision loop without losing control or speed.A few honest observations from managing across multiple markets:Home warranty plans (use cautiously)They sound like what you’re describing, but in practice:Response times are inconsistentVendor quality is hit-or-missThey often deny or delay claimsThey reduce some admin work, but they rarely deliver the speed or reliability tenants expect.
