This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

The typical clients that seek out cost segregation studies include:Real estate companies that buy and sell multiple properties each year.Individuals with a portfolio containing investment properties including apartment buildings, multi-family homes and even single residences.Franchise owners with properties that are similar to one another such as assisted living facilities, storage facilities and golf courses.Business owners of hotels, food facilities, shopping centers, restaurants or manufacturing plants.It depends on the type of property, but generally 15-45% of the building’s costs can be classified into assets with a shorter life.

My idea to buy a home is to get an 80% LTV 1st mortgage from a bank, take over that mortgage and give the seller a second mortgage for 50% of the 1st mortgage balance because I need some cash to cover the payments, which the amount of cash would be more than the remaining equity in the home.

We're looking at downtown homes with pools or homes near the beach.

This tends to be the issue with these lower cost homes, unless you buy them very very cheap.

We have an addendum that we serve if this occurs that essentially gives notice that the home has been abandoned, and if we don't hear back from the tenant in the prescribed period we will take the property back per state code.Check to see if Georgia has this same thing.Then update your leases to include this for future tenants.Or find a rental association that provides leases with these baked in.

My girlfriend and I occupy one of the bedrooms in the home.
