I'm in a position where I can leave my job and live for a bit on a pretty decent bonus.

You can also consider doing cost seg and bonus depreciation on another deal you buy this year to offset the gains.

If you don't want to buy anything, attend sessions you are interested in plus lunch presentations and take lots of notes.Now, if you decide on getting any of the guru courses, many of them will throw extra bonuses and stuff at the event.

Never count on appreciation but invest in a cash flowing property in an area in the path of progress so that if appreciation happens it's a nice bonus!

If so wouldn’t it be beneficial to get a cost segregation done to take advantage of the 100% bonus depreciation to get a bigger refund and invest in another property?

It will want to know your base wages per year, your overtime per year and any bonuses per year, each category done separately.

Similar thing for self-employed, 1099’s, or bonuses/commissions...you have to show track record over multiple years.

I personally have used YNAB and it has transformed how I think about finances.

I emailed them both about a week later saying that Linda has every right to move out of the property, however that they are both equally responsible to pay the rent for the duration of the contract.from the pay stubs lisa provided i don't see how she could afford rent on her own if linda does move out, even though she says she can afford it (maybe from baby bonus or help from family). even assuming she can make the payments on her own, i'm not sure on best course of action.since they applied together and one tenant leaves, Lisa may not meet minimum requirements to be approved on her own. should/can I make her re-apply on her own?

@Melinda MillerLooks like I might have a 2-season bonus room on my hands.
