Building equity and creating cash flow through real estate can set you on the path to financial freedom.

Someone I know bought a ranch to use as a short term rental property in 2021 for $1.7 million.Engineers did a virtual site visit, they were able to assign a value of $347,000 to either 5-7-15 year assets that were eligible for depreciation.In 2021, the bonus depreciation amount that you could take was 100%.This means that the owner could immediately deduct the full amount of eligible property in the year it was placed in service, rather than depreciating it over time.With that in mind, he took the full $347K deduction in his FIRST YEAR of ownership to offset taxable income from rentals.This was roughly ~20% of his purchase price.It was a big win for him.In 2024, the bonus depreciation rate is 60% so the calculation would be different.That said, you can still save and defer a ton.

For existing companies, individuals who own at least 25% of the entity or exercise substantial control over it must submit BOIR to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) by December 31, 2024.

Sounds like this is going to be a great cash flowing asset.

Who knows one day you may get to financial freedom through housing your colleagues.

Additionally, you may be asked to show some availability of liquid cash/assets to weather a storm in case something unplanned happens.

So percentage wise Jacksonville has seen a crazy amount of new supply being delivered which has affected rents.We also manage a portfolio of new construction homes in Palm Coast and Palm Bay and rents for those homes have dropped $25-75 depending upon floorplan and submarket and they’re taking longer to lease up compared to 2 years ago.A lot of Florida is having similar issues of stagnating or dropping rent, but it definitely depends on market, submarket, asset type, etc. 

I discovered the BP podcasts while educating myself about financial literacy & the FIRE movement.
