My friend suggested for me to try owner financing then to rent it out or turn it into government assistance housing.

This is because Mortgage backed securities are in direct competition with investors looking for "safer" investments backed by the full faith of the United States Government. 

This is also programmed into our PM software, so it happens automatically.Our lease also states what rent will be applied and in what order and also a security deposit.So, you may want to check these documents to see if this is covered with your PMC.While we always try to be fair with our clients, we also have to generate enough income to pay our bills. 

@Matthew Ford IRS tax liens can be negotiated through programs like Offer in Compromise, a payment plan, or requesting a lien discharge if selling the property.

Make sure to check the Yield Maintenance on the program!

@Ron Brady@Eduardo TanamachiI don’t think I can drop my link here, but the coaching program is called: Extended Stays for Landlords.

Not sure if this is the case in all provinces because Catalunya, especially the Barcelona city government, is quite left and making it difficult for investors. 

You really do not want to add to an IRA that has a SEPP in place.An IRA holding real estate is treated no differently than an IRA holding other investments when it comes to this program - other than you needing to manage your liquidity requirements a bit differently to meet the distribution schedule.

As long as you stay under four units, you're not governed by the Fair Housing Act, which has some accessibility requirements.

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.
