Another thing to keep in mind: The 100% bonus depreciation expired at the end of 2022 and is now phasing out at 20% per year, with the benefit fully sunsets after the end of 2026 calendar year.I recommend you contact a certified cost segregation specialist and/or CPA to discuss your short-term goal.

Of course, I'm also asking for updates to the project and he keeps telling me he'll call me with an update.

Of course, , approach?????  

This should be a pretty low bar to overcome for a property, and any upside is appreciated, of course.

I attempt to study what you mentioned in your earlier response—60% bonus depreciation upfront, 40% over the course of 15 years. 

Of course, they may not be good deals, but it gives you a chance to meet them and build some type of rapport.I would use Crexi, Auction.com. and Loopnet to find brokers as well.

John Bianchi has a very helpful free course on YouTube that taught me how to identify good data amid bad data.

There are lending specialist (also private lenders) who will lend you funds for EMD etc for short-term only.

The members of my group have taken courses such as these to generate profit from raw land investing.

Of course, please consult with a tax professional for more details.
