This is true, but can increase your chances of success by working with an experienced team.Financing Challenges: Unexpected rate hikes or tightening lending restrictions can complicate your plans. 

Hi,
I have two BRRRR loans with Fixated Funding, both starting and closing on the same day. One loan was locked at 6.9%, the other at 7.1%. However, I just received the closing docs, and the rate on the 6.9% loan has...

Hi Reeves,Experience in project management/construction and financing are definitely two key components.

That being said, life happens, and the mortgage police are not going to come looking for you if something unexpected happens and you have to move out of the house before one year.

For example, I have two STR high-income earners (making 140k & 150k) in Joshua Tree for sale with low expenses, where the sellers will stay on to manage it.Making sure you are keeping as much as possible from the tax man is a huge component and to do so you usually have to invest it.

Bonus depreciation is just a special part of the US tax code.It allows you to take accelerated depreciation on portions of your property depending on when an asset is put into service.At the time of this writing, you can write off a huge portion (60% in 2024) of many qualified components that have a useful lifespan of 15 years or less.That means a certain percentage of things like landscaping, sidewalks, latches, appliances, fences, certain flooring, etc is depreciable in year 1.The bonus depreciation rate percentage changes yearly depending on the administration and the tax code.For years 2015 through 2017 first-year depreciation for all the items on a 15-year schedule or less was set to 50%.It was scheduled to go down to 40% in 2018 and 30% in 2019 and then 0% in 2020.But then Trump got elected, and he enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.That moved the bonus depreciation percentage to 100% from 2017 to 2022.In 2023 it went down to 80% and it’s currently at 60%.Depending on who gets elected again, 100% may be back on the table.Only time will tell.We know that the US government wants to incentivize more development and ownership of RE.They want Americans to continue to build and maintain our physical world.That’s why real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged assets in the US.Depreciation and bonus depreciation for RE are very positive and will likely continue in the years ahead.

It was a win-win, and it all stemmed from a relationship built on trust rather than mere profit.The Benefits of a Strong Network: Off-Market Opportunities and Creative FinancingAs I grew in the industry, the relationships I built began to pay off in unexpected ways.

@Hamidou KeitaTo build a duplex or ADU in Tucson, verify zoning regulations, obtain construction estimates, budget for unexpected costs, research market rent and vacancy rates, calculate ROI, consider neighborhood and property value trends, analyze construction timeline, consider exit strategy, and consider a backup plan.

A couple of things happened in the last few months including a lump sum pay out for a retirement from a company for whom I previously worked and I inherited a modest sum unexpectedly. 

It is standard practice and component level depreciation is encouraged by the IRS.Though it is very important to track you time as you go along.
