Quote from @Mitchell Coles: In Ohio, property liens are typically recorded at the county level, making the County Recorder's Office a valuable resource for property research.

You won't be able to use conventional financing and must use a non-recourse loan which typically require 40% down.

Here is a newly created resource on BiggerPockets, which touches out cost segregation, accelerated depreciation, bonus depreciation, depreciation recapture, Real Estate Professional Status (REPS), STR Loophole / STR Strategy, example properties, and more.Cost Segregation 101 Author: Sean GrahamHappy to answer questions :)

That sort of thing is typically negotiable.

@Fulati PaerhatiRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I know Shopify typically is a more commerce base platform.

Britt,My firm has evaluated some smaller properties (under $500k) in the past for cost segregation, and it generally does not cost justify moving forward, since the benefits are small, and typically the tax liability on the income is minimal if any.

For example, I know a place that has about 1k illegals.

Recapture typically happens only when you sell the property.If you use the property partly for personal use and partly as a rental in a given year, depreciation and other expenses must be prorated based on the number of days it was rented versus personal useBased on the current tax laws and regulations, once you've taken bonus depreciation on an asset, you cannot "capture" additional bonus depreciation on that same asset in future years, even if the rates increase.In the 2024 tax year, the rate for bonus depreciation is 60%.
