A great strategy to use for buying rental properties is the BRRRR method. 

I’m a beginning investor and am trying to wrap my head around the tax benefits involved with real estate.  

Use the enemy method and see what they are doing.

DSCR loans don't require personal income verification or a debt-to-income ratio, making them ideal for properties with strong cash flow, even if the current owner has credit issues.Here's how it could work:You could use a DSCR loan to refinance the hard money loan, securing more favorable terms without having to involve the seller's credit.Since the rental income easily covers the property’s debt service, you’ll be in a good position for lender approval, bypassing the conventional mortgage route.This approach could allow the owner to stay in the house, while you take over financing with a less restrictive structure.

While previous offers were rejected, this latest proposal has prompted the company to reassess its options.In conjunction with these closures, Seven & I has announced a $520 million sale-leaseback transaction involving several 7-Eleven locations and plans to create a spinoff for its non-convenience store operations.

In 2024, it is 60%.You may also have an option of applying a different method (Section 179) that can give you 100% on some of the cost segregated components, but this has its own drawbacks and complications, so it needs to be discussed with your accountant beforehand.Also, have your accountant estimate your potential tax savings before ordering cost seg.

Seller financing is very hard to get.Most seller has the intent of collecting all the money upfront for a new property.To entice the seller to accept a low down payment, agree to the purchase price without negotiating, cover the closing costs and if there are any commissions involved with brokers/agents.

What a lot of people think:Bonus depreciation is only for new properties or acquisitions.The truth:You can retroactively apply bonus depreciation to property placed in service after September 27, 2017, when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed changing various rules.The IRS allows you to claim missed depreciation deductions by adjusting your current year's tax return, without needing to amend the previous year's returns.This is typically done through a change in accounting method using IRS Form 3115.

If so, can anyone in this market give me any examples of recent deals they have been involved in which hit the 2% Rule?

This involves updating the property records and ensuring that all units are now under a single tax identification number.
