I understand this is a broad question but just looking for a few ideas. 

Any suggestions specific to the Fairborn (and Dayton broadly) area that could be pitfalls if not looked into?

I own & operate 15 sober living homes in California that are level 3 / type S.Oxford house would be level 1 / peer-run.I ask because sober living is such a broad term, and your insurance is going to depend on your level of staffing, licensing, etc.

Specifically:- Estimating cash flow- Evaluating long-term appreciation potential- Understanding neighborhood demographics- Estimating renovation costsI’m working on a tool where:- You paste a Zillow link.The system uses AI to:- Analyze cash flow potential via Rentometer rents- Predict appreciation based on historical trends- Break down local demographic dataGoal: Automate the time-consuming parts of deal analysis and help investors screen properties faster.

That's because their real estate is not complexed enough to require the types of sophisticated lenders who actually understand the entity structure.Before saying something as broad as "you are getting asset protection if renters sue" understand the "how" and "why". 

It’s also important to understand that cost segregation is not “free money.”

We have a 1200 sq ft cabin STR overlooking the French broad river sitting on 32 acres. i'm wondering if it's really worth doing and if so, who would be the right person to contact about getting an appraisal.

Average rehab when a tenant leaves $3000 (understand we can debate this, it’s an average) and loss of 30-60 days of rent.  60 days to find a new tenant at $2000 a month plus rehab the unit even if it’s only painting is $7000 ($4000 in rent and $3000 in rehab) versus the $100 in rent increase $1200.  

This is an interesting thread...broad range of timelines.
