Just a few years ago, poor meant not much positive cash flow.  

Now, you don't dare take a chance on someone that shows any sign of being a risk.You've been sold down the river by politicians whose only desire is be re-elected. 

No I meant "Tell" the tenant . 

Shared laundry meant a fifth utility meter and high water costs that I paid.

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.

no i just meant like wire fees in general but yeah i might just go with amex and see how it goes first

Quote from @Marshall Robins: Do you know what the Loan office with AgSouth meant by 25% down?

On the "most will not cash flow", I meant it as an expectation of rates vs. output.

Truly only meant for someone sincere and willing to listen and follow them. 

By nickel and dime-ing it I did not mean we were buying cheap or low quality properties, I meant we were adding properties as they became available in neighborhoods where we were already invested.
