I appreciate the info provided so far, but I have more questions and I don't expect freebies from pros like yourself.I'm looking to get together a semi-solid idea of how this all works before I drill down, in depth with my usual accountant in a couple weeks (if I still decide to drill down with my usual accountant after learning more info on what I'm trying to do - from you or someone else.)My usual guy can't get to me right away and I'm in a time crunch, if this deal is going to happen the way I want it to (bonus depreciation decreasing by another 20% on Jan 1st)I really just need to understand Bonus Depreciation, in detail, and as it applies to my situation.I'm brand new to all of this.

Read books and listen to podcasts to supplement your knowledge and to use for better questions, more detailed, and then when you pair that with meetups and your motivation, you are on a great trajectory.

Here is what one of my 4 AIs say:The commission structure detailed in the image for a real estate transaction involving a property valued between $30M and $40M is as follows:Under $34,000,000: 1% (0.50% per side)$34,000,000 - $34,999,999: $400,000 ($200,000 per side)$35,000,000 and above: $500,000 ($250,000 per side)To evaluate whether these commissions are fair for a 112-unit apartment complex valued between $30M and $40M, let's compare them to typical real estate commission rates for large commercial properties:Typical Commission Rates:For commercial real estate transactions, commissions generally range from 1% to 3% for properties valued above $10M.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.PM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

To prepare for maximizing bonus depreciation or conducting a cost segregation study, you can begin gathering detailed records of the property's assets and improvements, coordinate with a cost segregation specialist early, and consider any renovations or purchases of eligible equipment to align with tax strategies that take full advantage of the current bonus depreciation rates before they phase out.

These days, I’m all in on Google Ads.Since it seems you are pretty new, and I saw it on the replies - finding properties by doing Drive 4 Dollars can be a great start, and then skip tracing their details and calling them directly.
