There's nothing wrong with paid advertising, of course, just something to keep in mind.Here is a post I wrote about finding a tax professional on Bigger Pockets:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1222774-expla...As explained in my post, we're not allowed to offer you our services until this post is moved from the tax forum into the Classifieds area.

Bigger Pockets seems like an exciting resource and the forums have given me great insight on the local market.

We’re financing at roughly 75% LTV with a 20-year amortization and an initial construction period at 7.75% interest, dropping to 6.63% once we transition into permanent financing. 

Hi all from Jamul, CA!  Looking to learn more about value-add multifamily investing, the one property we own other than our residence is an 8-plex in Idaho and I have some cash but at the moment no employment income.....

My focus is on turning distressed or underperforming assets into profitable, well-managed investments through creativity, transparency, and consistent execution.At Real360, we deliver performance-driven property management and investment solutions across Florida, including:💼 Eviction & Lost Rent Coverage🏚️ Malicious Damage Protection🛡️ Liability & Legal Coverage💳 Rent Collection & Maintenance Coordination📊 Portfolio Optimization & Asset Growth StrategiesThis actually isn’t my first time on Bigger Pockets — I had an older account that I lost somewhere along the way.

This approach lets me participate in bigger deals and diversify across markets while leveraging the expertise of other members, from underwriting to property management, who pick deals apart collaboratively.I completely understand your focus on affordability and community feel in build-to-rent; that aligns with what we often see in larger passive deals too.

For bigger deals, combining private/permanent lending is becoming key.

Why Investors Love ItHere’s what cost segregation really does for you:✅ Bigger upfront deductions → Slash your taxable income in Year 1.✅ More cash flow → Keep more of your profits to reinvest.✅ Faster ROI → Those tax savings often fund your next deal.Example:Buy a $500,000 rental property.A cost segregation study finds $100,000 of assets eligible for 100% bonus depreciation.That’s a $100,000 deduction in Year 1 — easily saving $30K+ in taxes depending on your bracket.That’s money you can use to buy another property — or pay zero tax while you build equity.The 2025 AdvantageThe Beautiful Bill of 2025 made cost segregation even more valuable:✅ 100% Bonus Depreciation is back permanently for qualified property purchased after January 19, 2025.✅ More flexibility in allocating interior improvements and land improvements.✅ Better timing for high-income investors looking to offset gains or active income.If you’re planning to close on a property this year, timing your purchase after that date could mean tens of thousands in bonus write-offs.When It Might Not Make SenseLike any tax strategy, it’s not one-size-fits-all.Avoid it if:You plan to sell the property quickly (depreciation recapture will come back).Your income is too low to benefit from large deductions this year.The property’s cost is small (under ~$200K), since the study cost might outweigh the savings.But for larger portfolios or active investors with strong income, it’s a no-brainer.The Bottom LineCost segregation isn’t some hidden loophole — it’s one of the most effective, IRS-approved ways to accelerate tax deductions and build wealth faster.If your property is purchased after January 19, 2025, you can take advantage of 100% bonus depreciation again — meaning faster write-offs, stronger cash flow, and more money compounding in your portfolio.✅ Own rentals or commercial properties?
