Examples of qualified improvement property include improvements made to the interior of nonresidential real property, such as HVAC systems or alarm and security systems.We refrain from making direct recommendations on Section 179 because we believe this decision is best made by the CPA, who completely understands the client’s overall tax situation.The decision to elect Section 179 is deeply tied to broader tax implications, including other deductions, income limitations, and future business planning.Your CPA has a holistic view of your finances and can help you make the right choice.TLDR:* Section 179 is a powerful tool for business owners and real estate investors, allowing immediate expensing of qualifying assets in the year they are placed in service.* Annual limits apply to how much can be expensed, with the 2024 cap set at $1,220,000, and investment limits that start to phase out when more than $3,050,000 of property is placed in service.* Not all property qualifies for Section 179.

2/3 of the units are singles/studios, so generally higher turnover, causing higher fees for clean outs and lease ups, etc, etcRecently had to get a "fire rated" door to the roof replaced from some city inspection, the first bids were $3800-$4500, but with the right contractors and a little of my own time and motivation, i got the job done for less than $1500 and 12 hours of my time, and it had 2x the fire rating than the city required.

I want to give them a benefit of doubt, but I wonder how often you had a list of 10000 prospects, a power dialer to call 2000 numbers a day and speak with those you were connected to (approximately 200 prospects per day_, and still got only 3 unmotivated seller leads in 5 business days?

Sure, Section 121 is powerful if you're considering sale and need to exclude a big gain, but passive cash flow is more powerful in my opinion.

But get an LLC and rent from it personally...any cleaning expenses, paying your mortgage etc. come from the LLC's bank account, any outside money that you need to fund the account will be a capital contribution and then you will be able to do cost seg on that property.
