At least half the time, according to all the negative posts about them, they don't meet the investor's expectations.REASONS:1) Pay top of market prices2) Shoddy rehab3) Tenant's don't pay4) Finding replacement tenants

Rehab is always tracked as its own cost centerLabor, materials, subcontractors, permits, all separate line items.

But single-family homes can still compete if land value is low or outdoor improvements are high.Bottom line — it’s not “condo vs. home,” it’s after-tax cash flow vs. headaches.

They want the fastest solution, not the “best investor.”If you don’t respond fast… someone else will.And they’ll get the contract you should’ve had.It’s not about being perfect.It’s about being first.In off-market real estate, speed isn’t a bonus…it’s a competitive advantage.

Make sure the place you are buying is occupied and the tennant has been actively paying their rent.

Quote from @Luke Mertz: So as an 18 year old I have the opportunity to go through a 2 year program then receive a 50,000$ signing bonus plus pay.

Who are we to state where that line is that's "ok"? 

For me 5% or less is generally when I would not pay off early. 3.2% Do not pay that off early.  

Justin, for clarity when you say you want to take advantage of the 100% bonus tax depreciation that Section 179 allows you to expense the full purchase price of eligable business property (farm equiptment for example), however "real property" like a single family or duplex does not qualify for the full expensing or depreciation.

I have been looking at Cost Segrigation and 100% bonus depreication.Has anyone ever done one for a single family home portfolio?
