.- I do this often, mainly to build a relationship with the listing agent, never had one take me up;  offer $500 bonus to the listing agent, and that she gets the full 6%. 

My ops person who runs my stuff gets 6 figures as a base and her commission / bonuses will be equal to her base this year.

Bonus points if you give your 1-2 sentence 'why'.

(Unless Cost Seg)If you add an appliance after you put the property in the service, you can take 100% bonus depreciation on those assets, if you want to.

The book outlines the architecture to create or transform a business and IMHO is the best outline to create success in any business.

Starting pay of less than $20,000 was the standard.Today starting pay can be around $80,000 (including new hire bonuses). 

So you can buy a primary residence and get bonus rental units at the same interest rate and down payment you would have to make on a primary residence by itself.2.

After the auction ask some of them how they evaluated the deal and why they bid what they bid.PS bonus idea, go out to the various investor groups in the area and network.

@Dan Handford Under the new tax law can't you use bonus depreciation on all of the items that have a depreciation life less than 15 years?

An added bonus is that in Philadelphia there is a 10 year tax abatement program that allows you to significantly reduce your tax bill for new construction homes or full rehab properties.
