Any thing with a life of under 20 years qualifies for bonus depreciation.
A cost segregation separates as much as possible into 5 or 7 year assets which would definitely qualify.
Even if you do renovations though it's important to note that a lot of things CAN'T be separate out on a rental without a cost segregation.
If you do a $15k bathroom renovation just because you know the cost doesn't mean it can default to not needing to be capitalized.
Natalie, Thanks this just further helps me realize that I am correct in what I thought. Thank you again!

@James Storey thanks for your reply. Yes we have had a cost segregation study done and yet he is claiming that we cannot use this. We've done everything above you mention on our end and handed it over. We are having someone take a look at our cost Segregation study at the moment so that should be really helpful!

Hi, for those here who own rental properties 1-4 unit residential, Are we able to use bonus depreciation when filing taxes on these assets? I was told that you are only able to depreciate These assets with their normal 27.5 year depreciation schedule.

Post: Indianapolis Lease-Option Deal

Hi Everyone,
My partner and I have a deal in Greensburg, IN just outside of Metro Indianapolis that we don’t have enough equity to wholesale the property like we usually do but the owner has told us that he would entertain a 2 year lease option on the property. We like the area and feel like a lease option would be a great exit strategy here and the Ideal situation would be to sandwich lease option the deal to an end buyer that would want to buy and live in the property. I have looked into this exit strategy in the past but still have yet to do a lease option deal.
One big issue standing in my way is he has a mortgage on the property and I have not really seen the process of a lease option being done with a house that has an existing mortgage. Would he need to get permission from his mortgage company to lease option this home? All he wants is to get from underneath this mortgage payment which he is willing to sale the House for the 65k and we just pay his current mortgage payment. For those of you that deal with lease options regularly, we’d appreciate your help and opinion on how to position this deal or the right steps we need to take. Details are below.
-Purchase Price: 65K
-ARV: $79,500
-Current mortgage payment: $648.00
-Market Rents: $750/mo
-No Rehab needed for rent ready
-2 year term for $648.00/mo no down payment.
Thanks ahead of time!
