Is DIY cost segregation allowed?

Some common problems DIY landlords face as they grow:1) Communication Constraints: your day job doesn't always allow you to focus on landord issues2) Accounting: spreadsheets can be used, but unless you master Excel, can be a challenge.

Contractors, PMs, and lenders will open doors faster than online networking aloneBest next steps when you land:• Start building U.S. credit immediately• Get bank accounts and an LLC set up cleanly• Attend local meetups and talk to people who actually own in Syracuse• Focus on learning underwriting so you recognize a good deal when one shows upMost people underestimate how long the setup phase takes.

Quote from @Alex Melara: As a Property Management company looking to grow and scale up in our market, what are some standout ways to network?

I purchased my first home about 4 years ago and recently purchased a 2nd home and was fortunate to keep my first home and rent it out.I'm looking to purchase another property or two in 2026 and wanted to network with likeminded individuals.Over the past few years I've listened to a ton of realestate related content on Youtube (bigger pockets etc)Let's connect!

I was having a conversation with someone about the different FB/Skool/REIA groups I network in, and they recommended BiggerPockets and added, "especially for connecting in DFW."

Join local REI meetups and groups to expand your network, meet other real estate professionals (they might come in handy later), and learn from experienced wholesalers.2.

You can add people on your list and network but you need to provide deals that make sense.

I’ve been spending the last few months analyzing neighborhoods, running numbers, and building relationships with reliable local professionals, and I’d love to expand my network even more.

DIY cost seg like room42.io can work for smaller residential properties, but commercial buildings with major rehabs are trickier.
