My wife and I are excited to continue to grow our portfolio but neither of us truly want to "retire" early.

Closing four properties in less than a year exceeded my expectations, especially considering my initial hesitations.I am continuously learning about different markets and strategies, and I’m grateful to have gained enough knowledge that others are now seeking my advice.

Similar to a 401k, part of the strategy is a tax arbitrage.It is a much better outcome to take the deduction at 37% rather than 24%.Lever 5 - % Bonus AllowedIn 2023 Bonus depreciation has been limited to 80%, and will continue to ramp down 20%/yr until it hits zero in 2027.Bonus depreciation has come and gone in the past, but the more you get, that first year payback is higher and higher.Lever 6 - % Payback RatioUltimately how much you save vs. how much you pay matters.Caveat - Talk to your CPA before you purchase a cost seg study.You need to have a way to monetize your losses through1.

That may take a few years to settle itself, but that's not a neighborhood fundamentals issue and will correct itself naturally, especially as more neighborhood commercial and amenities continue to infill to meet the new population.

I’ve been learning about the industry / different regional markets for the past few years and am eager to execute my first deal in the near term and continue growing through this community.My primary goal is to purchase a property I can live in while generating rental income (e.g., a single-family home with a tiny house, a duplex, or a single-family property where I can install a tiny house).

I feel after a "thousand year event" the area held up remarkably well, and I continue to stay bullish on Florida and especially the Tampa Bay area.

I appreciate that Propwire is free, so I'll continue to use it unless the data proves to be inaccurate. 

Property prices plunged, but rental income continued uninterrupted.

If you don't get more traction in the next few weeks, you might want to decide whether it's worth holding and renting out or continuing with a sale at a lower price point.### 5.

I'm becoming an agent for MLS access so I can a greater degree of confidence in data accuracy.I'd like to take on wholesailing myself so that I can continue to work on my rental portfolio at a faster pace.
