Timing is everything.

Bonus depreciation is a one-time election per asset at the time of acquisition.

1) don’t forget, in LA you will have a VERY hard time raising rents more than 9% per year.

I have full time job but can help where I can. 

At this time I manage and renovate majority of all my units to keep cost low but most likely not the best use of my time although I'm skilled at it.

One of the main points of these regulations is to get people to start paying hotel occupancy taxes because at this time very few are permitted or paying taxes.

I sent you a message, I've seen this before plenty of times and am able to help you with exploring your options.

I’m in a small financial bind right now and I could use the $300 back, especially since I’m not really planning on using the pro features any time soon. 

With an owner-occupied loan, you can buy a house with 0-5% down and get 30-year fixed rate financing so you're not dealing with adjustable rates if rates go back up and not dealing with a balloon payment in 6-24 months which is plenty of time for an experienced investor but not a whole lot if you're new. 

Figured there would be a few data points left out of the equation' that I would need to circle back with :) .There are additional units not rented at this time which could be rented to increase the income.
