I'm guessing its a no, but maybe there is a loophole I can explore.

@Thomas S. makes a good point that the $75/surchage is a strange clause and I'd agree it is a loophole in the lease to allow him in.

(Example, $1 mil spent, $5 mil "donation," 37% = $1.85 mil reduction in taxes.)Or did they close that loophole?

Although there's probably some sort of loophole around fair housing when it comes to tattoos, I wouldn't avoid that crowd.

Once the permit is received, I know at that point I would be eligible for the SRT loophole, but can I depreciate my home based on the Purchase Price plus any upgrades (new floors, bath remodels, adding recessed lighting, etc)?

If so, is there another loophole to avoid paying a hefty $200,000?

And, I think, they were allowing an ADU to be rented out.There are many types of zoning with little loop holes that could potentially be used for tiny hotels.

I hope I'm not too late on this topic @Nick Vollrath @Ashish Acharya @Lance LvovskySituation How can my investors take advantage of the new tax loopholes: bonus depreciation, section 179, cost segregation, etc.?

Which is only 4 months more than your projected rehab time, not too long.There was a post on BP that I read this seasoning loophole.

It's multiple pages and good or it's short and probably lacking protections for the property or giving loop-holes for tenants to not pay for damages, last months rent, etc.
