Through depreciation, particularly accelerated depreciation and bonus depreciation, you can typically offset all rental income such that there is no taxable income from your rental . 

So you takes your chances and pays your money at some point.I was viewing the built in equity as the "bonus" of financing it myself through the bank rather than the builder doing it.

Note that California taxes capital gains as ordinary income (up to 13.3%) and does not conform to federal bonus depreciation rules.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Bonus if you land a corner lot.- multiple indoor common areas (think 2 separate tv setups). - exterior "usable square footage" (think covered patio, pergolas).- extra storage space so tenants don't feel the need to squeeze their entire lives into one room (extra garage space, attic, detached shed)- room for 2 full refrigerators!

I can add about $1000 a month to my savings and whatever bonuses I receive to it as well. 

Appreciation is not a bonus or luck, it is literally the number one wealth-generating force in real estate.

They don't tell you when you sign up that the direct mail program is 3x what a normal direct mail company would charge.  

This is particularly effective when paired with bonus depreciation provisions.This method not only helps reduce your tax liability but also enhances cash flow, making it a powerful tool for real estate investors looking to grow their portfolios.3.

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

I plan on offering that bonus commission and taking away that commission based on how soon they complete renovation.
