Lastly, buying Class A, and Class B assets in major metropolitan areas does come with long-term appreciation growth as well, so that's an added bonus. 

I also provide a 'bonus' or tip to my agent now in order to make up for the lack of commission they get on helping me get the best deals possible.

If the government throws you some "free" money, that will be a bonus. 

At the same time that we are being moved off of base we will be getting a $20,000 bonus (BEFORE TAXES).

If you can get into the sewer line with a camera.....bonus.  

How much would I be able to bonus depreciate if I invested 800k into real estate?

Proximity to an incredible international airport like LAX is a big bonus, as SAN is a fraction of the size or capability or quality, unfortunately we have a garbage airport for America's finest city.

I just picked up J Scott's book on estimating rehab costs, and I believe there is some bonus content there too which I'll check out.Certainly isn't a need, but just thought I check the forums in case someone has come across something that they really like that we could all benefit from.Thanks all.Brent

Then used my sign-on bonus to buy our 3rd rental.For my primary, I went with Fulton Bank, they gave me up to $1.5 million with 0% down, No PMI, and a 3.5% rate.Would be awesome to have scaled up into a multi-fam, just wasn’t in the cards for us though.
