Bonus depreciation is derived from the portion of the property's value with a shorter useful life than the buildings themselves.

Many tax sale properties derive from estates where the heirs take no action and the property goes to tax auction.

I have found a number of other users posted this question in the forum over the years but I cannot find a resolution anywhere.The way the Rental Property Calculator derives the "Profit if sold" number seems to have an error in it if you are using the function to increase the rental rate and expenses each year.

To answer your question: for a relatively small multifamily (I would label this about 20 units or less), yes it is common to not get financials until LOI, and there is very limited information that can be derived from sellers financials that should effect value anyways, because how they operate is probably very different than how you will operate.

The deduction is only allowed if the business can show that it derived a business purpose from the loan or debt.

Not sure whether you ultimately invested here and know nothing about Simm Capital but based on what you shared the first question you should be asking Simm Capital is where do the 10% dividends derive from?

Of course there are discounts for security measures, gates, guards etc. that everyone would get but homeowners premiums are derived on so may factors such as insured age, household members, claims history, ROOF AGE, age of the home, scheduled property, pets etc., so if each home is individually owned this would be near impossible. 

@Rebecca ReadusA couple thoughts:-- When working with house-hacking clients, I set up searches for listings with the words "walk-out" and any derivation of those words in the listing.

Therefore, comps (comparable sales) should be researched with that in mind.Basically, as an appraiser, I am not limited to any specific rules or regulations when it comes to picking my comps, deriving my value opinion, etc, as long as my method/s or reasonable, credible, and supportable.

The exchange rate will most likely be in your favor and you can derive income in USD dollars from buying a property that rental clients rent in USD, whereas your mortgage is in Mexican pesos.4.
