We already had a de minimis $2,500 exception, and now we have 100% bonus, and Section 179 is now available to landlords.

I wanted to share with you all my success story.I found the property through the hard work of my nephews (age 16 and 17), who I tasked with some D4D (Driving for Dollars) last summer I paid them a low wage, but promised a percentage bonus if I closed a deal within a year on any of the houses they found for me.

The equity doesn't do much good if its sitting in the property, appreciation is a bonus and its speculative.

The other bonus here is by the time you are required to do maintenance rents have increased enf so cash flow stays current. 4.)

Bonus: The property manager that TJ uses, Matt, is really awesome too.

I don’t really have a passion for the insurance industry , but it pays me a good salary and I will have the opportunity to make a lot more with bonuses and it also has good residual income .

Talk about a wonderful bonus.

@Dave Ventura, I always recommend to invest for cash flow not appreciation but try to invest in the path of progress to increase your chances of an appreciation bonus. 

Have you outlined the bonuses for staying in a condo vs apartment?   

As a bonus, you can take the opportunity to build your team and vet a decent real estate agent.
