Duane,If you have someone willing to fund 100% of the purchase price then you can seek out a 2nd position lender to fund the rehab portion.

You must generally file Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method, to request a change in your method of accounting for depreciation.The following are examples of a change in method of accounting for depreciation.A change from an impermissible method of determining depreciation for depreciable property if the impermissible method was used in two or more consecutively filed tax returns.A change in the treatment of an asset from nondepreciable to depreciable or vice versa.A change in the depreciation method, period of recovery, or convention of a depreciable asset.A change from not claiming to claiming the special depreciation allowance if you did not make the election to not claim any special allowance.A change from claiming a 50% special depreciation allowance to claiming a 100% special depreciation allowance for qualified property acquired and placed in service by you after September 27, 2017 (if you did not make the election under section 168(k)(10) to claim a 50% special depreciation allowance).Changes in depreciation that are not a change in method of accounting (and may only be made on an amended return) include the following.An adjustment in the useful life of a depreciable asset for which depreciation is determined under section 167.A change in use of an asset in the hands of the same taxpayer.Making a late depreciation election or revoking a timely valid depreciation election (including the election not to deduct the special depreciation allowance).

Hello Community,I'm seeking guidance on refinancing a property with an owner-financed loan that's nearing its maturity.

I have been investing in Toledo, OH since 2009 and owned 2-12 unit buildings and find they are way too hyped (read lots of guys from BP want to pay too much for them) and the reality is residents in Toledo are ultimately seeking a house with a yard and a garage so as soon as a resident improves their financial situation they move into a house.

if you do not have US citizenship, a green card, or a visa, make sure that if you are seeking financing that you either have a US co-sponsor or your lender can lend to foreign nationals.
