Cost segregation study can be a great way to unlock tax savings, even for properties you’ve owned a while.

Everyone knows the BRRRR method - Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat.It’s built on the idea that leverage lets you grow faster.That worked great when money was cheap and banks were eager.But in today’s market, the same leverage that once fueled growth can quietly eat away at returns.Here’s an alternative I’ve been studying - something I call the Reverse BRRRR.It keeps the real estate, the cash flow, and the repeatability… but removes the debt treadmill.Here’s the basic structure:Buy homes in livable condition at a discount.

This is relying on a 35% expense ratio, which I believe many would argue is conservative and should be higher.Round Number Case Study:$12,000 Monthly Collected rent$4,200 Monthly Expenses (35% Assumption)$7,800 NOI$7,800/$500,000 = 15.6% cap rate

It sounds like you’d definitely benefit from doing a study since your wife qualifies as a real estate professional.

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

Some correctionBonus depreciation is now 100%Are you sure you got a cost segregation study from the company you provided a link to(KBKG)?

A few years later, my job required me to relocate, and I faced that classic question: do I sell it or rent it out?

When a market calms, value-add deals and under-market buys begin showing up again—especially for properties that need work or that aren’t positioned well by inexperienced agents.Sellers Need a Reality Check (and Many Are Getting One Later Than They Should)You’re starting to see the classic signs that sellers overshoot:Price reductions after 2–3 weeksOffers coming in at ask or belowCredits returning as a negotiation toolHomes needing minor repairs getting ignored by pickier buyersThis is especially true in some West Knoxville price bands, where sellers are used to getting whatever they ask for.
