There is no limit, they do monthly/yearly bonuses and pretty much they make it able to make money to invest in real estate.

Other than reduced bonus depreciation (if you're using that strategy), without any tax law changes, rates will be largely the same for 2025 as 2024, so you may not lose much by delaying receipt of the bonus by a month or two. 

Podio is extremely flexible and extensible.All that being said, here's the big challenge with Podio:  when you first sign up for Podio, there's a demo workspace with apps, but it can still look like a "blank sheet of paper." 

Bonus is I am getting new HVAC, Furnace and hot water tank.

New administration.As of now, 2024 bonus depreciation rate is 60%.
