Big bonus there is you get to learn all about what it takes to build and renovate which is a huge part of real estate.

If they say 2 weeks, I will put in a due date for 3 weeks and add a bonus for finishing early and a daily penalty for being late.3) Get inspections.   

Examples include depreciation, amortization, and business use of home.And here's a cool thing, thanks to tax reform: 100% bonus depreciation. 

Do a couple of math examples and compare your rate of return, factor in potential appreciation (its a bonus but dont let it rule your decision making process) for example house A costs 100k brings a 8% annual ROIHouse B costs 50k but brings a 11% ROIthen the answer becomes obvious, you want to deploy 100k into 2 of house B.

Plus the bonus is Hooligans wings are the best around.

People tend to fall in love with nice hardwoods as well if you can find a place where there's hardwoods underneath the carpet waiting to be refinished that's a nice bonus.

Added bonus if you happen to be an active RE investor as well. 

What I do is move money around various bank accounts to get sign-up bonuses.

Can I use 179 depreciation (or Bonus depreciation?)

Does anyone offer a "sign this week and get a discount on the first month" or any other kind of bonus to get a great tenant to sign right away?
