Quote from @Melanie Baldridge: In 2025 the bonus depreciation rate is 40%.This means that if you bought a property for $1M in 2025, did a cost seg study and found $300K in eligible assets that you could depreciate, you could take 40% of that $300K as bonus depreciation to offset your income in the first year.40% of $300K = $120K.You then apply that $120K to the owner’s personal tax rate to find the final amount that they can defer in year 1.If your tax rate is 37%, you can defer $66.6K.This is a big deal even at the 40% bonus depreciation rate this year.It’s a massive benefit 

My company currently manages 15 properties, with 20+ leads in the pipeline, and we’re expecting to double our portfolio this year.

After quitting the RE space in 2008 as a burned out landlord with upside down properties, I rejoined the space as a curious vacant land newbie investor in early 2023.

I purchased a property in the 77003 zip code which is 1.5 miles from downtown.

It's going to be tough to buy a property without steady W2 income.  8k is a good start, but you might need to keep saving.  

I use an excel sheet I created that includes the date, REPS category, property, description of activity/activities, the people / tools of the activity and the hours spent on the activity.
