Instead, there should be dollar amounts assigned to specific events, i.e. demolition complete with full haul off, floors broom cleaned, no nails left in studs or subfloors $1,500.Plumbing rough in complete and rough in inspection passed: $4000Final plumbing completed $5000I am clearly making up dollar amounts, but look for these types of bids on large projects.  

When my hardwood guys started sanding the smell was unbelievable, but we actually were able to seal the floors and get rid of the smell.  

Interesting to see how feasible this will be. 

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.

This means a 3/2 and a 1/1 instead of a 2/1 and a 2/1 since you can live in a smaller space to make more money.

There is not space for new buildings.  

I took title to each in a separate series of my LLC, which is the same as per entity protection as having each in a separate LLC but with the organizational and accounting costs of having a single LLC.In the case of each I carried hazard and liability insurance for the INTERIOR of the condo while the HOA carried insurance for the “common” areas, including structural.This particular condo was on the second floor, with retail and office space directly below.  

The small multi family space (4-20 units) seems to be less crowded, but those deals can be hard to manage unless they’re within a couple of hours from where you live so you could manage or turn it yourself if you had to. 

The office space added represents a saving of $2500 a month I was going to pay in a lease for an offsite building for my expanding team and staff.

It will take approximately two hours, and I need access to every space, including the attic and crawl space.
