Its easy to get wrapped up in wanted to learn everything, and it ends up in people losing sight in what their original goals were from the start.

I'm originally from the area and have been starting to look at some properties there as I am living in New Jersey.

Hi @Drew Sygit, thanks for your response.You shared some good insight, particularly about the classes of tenants that would push back against the strategy I proposed originally.

I had just mastered the original deal analysis and was getting comfortable analyzing deals.  

It's not as simple as homes that were burned being rebuilt and original owners returning to them.

It was originally listed at $599K, but I was able to negotiate it down to $495K.I connected with my GC, shared the pictures, and he estimates the rehab costs to be around $80-85K.

This is most of the depreciation you are taking year one.You can calculate your depreciation recapture by taking the sale price of the asset and subtracting the adjusted cost basis.The adjusted cost basis is what you paid for the asset plus any improvements you made along the way minus the depreciation you took along the way.The profit above this original cost is taxed as a capital gain, but the part linked to depreciation is taxed at a maximum rate of 25% under the unrecaptured gains of section 1250.To recap the tax rates are:- Sec. 1250 real property: 25%- Sec. 1245 property and 15 year 1250 property: Ordinary Tax RatesThere are ways to minimize depreciation recapture especially if you know how to work smart with your CPA.1) Asset Valuation at Time of Sale - Sellers can minimize recapture by reallocating the price of the assets on sale.
