I learned how to prepare all my tax returns, and realized it is better done by a professional who can keep up with the changes in tax law.

You have to be prepared to sell yourself quickly or in detail.

You prepare for the next market cycle in the existing cycle.

As I go through this journey I have also decided to educate myself in real estate investment so that I can be best prepared for July 2020, this is the point when I will be debt-free and will be shifting all my energy to actively investing in real estate utilizing the BRRR method.To that end, I have made it a goal to analyze 2 properties per day so I can become familiar with my area and become comfortable analyzing properties...and that is where my issue is.

There's lots to do and learn so be prepared for that.

The cost of land generally includes the cost of clearing, grading, planting, and landscaping.Land preparation costs, such as landscaping are depreciable Certain improvements made directly to land or added to it (such as shrubbery, fences, roads, sidewalks, and bridges) are generally depreciated over 15 yearsKeep in mind that depreciable rental property costs with a useful life of 20 year or less may be eligible for bonus depreciation.I don’t think the sources that you found are accurate since some of the improvements you mentioned can be depreciated and over a shorter period of time.

Fast forward to today and I'm preparing to use Jeff (Blueprint) to fund a new build.
