It’s a great time to buy during the low season to get launched, stabilized and get your tax write offs now (60% bonus depreciation this year vs 40% next year).  

This is when hiring or partnering comes into play.

These questions might play a factor on price as well. 

The tax benefits of bonus depreciation can lead to massive savings but losses won’t help one bit if you can’t use them.Before you buy a cost seg, you need to know the rules:Tax all starts with the types of income.1.

Generally most private money lenders are going to play a lot more conservative but be able to close faster/make a faster decision on lower risk deals. 

The Arbitrage unit that we operate is owned by a friend, so we probably played a little fast and lose with our agreement with her. 

We both lost out to someone that was willing to give the Seller almost the price they were asking because they were doing a 1031 exchange were they had a substantial amount of cash and they liked the property location.This similar scenario has played out for me several times over the last few years because the market was so hot.

For LTR they are expensive so it's more of a appreciation play. 

Gut it out until the end of January with this person and either a) play more hard ball about the vehicle and other stuff b) play it softer and just gut it out with them2.

IMHO they are the worst properties Vegas has to offer although they have tripled or quadrupled in value in the last 10-15 years, that was the play, not the cash flow.
