I dug up the concrete, cut it up with a sawzol and took it to the recycling depot. 

The metal recycler picked it up and gave me $180.6.

Generally you wouldn't start depreciating an animal right away if it's immature; the in service date would be when the animal reaches maturity -- i.e. when able to be bred or when able to be milked, whatever is applicable.On owned land, single-purpose agricultural structures are 10 year property and multi-purpose agricultural structures are 20 year property (as opposed to 39 year for commercial buildings). 

@Marta Rodriguez, BRRRR is great because you can keep recycling your cash from one deal to the next.

@Roy Whooten I looked into doing this myself and one of the things I found is the cost could be lower than wood framing assuming you are using a used container (which is also part of the appeal - the recycling aspect), but the thing that scared me off was unless you buy a container that was only used for one shipment, you had no idea what was shipped in there.

If you needed brain surgery, you wouldn't search out a surgeon that got all of their training from the back of a milk carton,,,or from just jumping in and learning as they went? 

I've gone though much trial and error and thought I had a decent system in place to keep track of lists, recycle caller ID, make sure my VA is saying the proper things in order to gain quality leads.

She'll grab the eggs and milk and butter...and she'll mention in her review that you had the mixing bowls and frying pans and spatulas so she could cook for the kids!

The biggest challenge will be the LTV status to allow you to refinance out of the loan so you can recycle it on the other side.

I would NOT try to time the market to sell it at peak unless you had another compelling reason like mentioned above for wanting/needing to sell anyway ... remember, even if you hit the peak for this RE cycle (which is hard enough to do), it does not mean you will be selling out at the global all time peak ... it reminds me of something my parent's did in the 1980's, they timed the market perfectly and sold at the peak for that RE cycle ... it was a triplex a few blocks from the ocean they sold for $150k, value stayed flat for years after they sold but today is probably worth >$2M.
