Don't forget your taxes on a sale!

Is this something I should hire a lawyer/other professional for or can I just do it myself? 

But you have to be very creative and understand that if you're seeing deals from industry professionals (rather than sourcing them yourself), there's probably not enough meat left on the bone for a good opportunity to create value.Good luck!

If you want more cash flow and want to walk away with more of the 80%, perhaps identify another market and do a 1031 exchange so as to not pay capital gains taxes.  

Bonus depreciation is just a special part of the US tax code.It allows you to take accelerated depreciation on portions of your property depending on when an asset is put into service.At the time of this writing, you can write off a huge portion (60% in 2024) of many qualified components that have a useful lifespan of 15 years or less.That means a certain percentage of things like landscaping, sidewalks, latches, appliances, fences, certain flooring, etc is depreciable in year 1.The bonus depreciation rate percentage changes yearly depending on the administration and the tax code.For years 2015 through 2017 first-year depreciation for all the items on a 15-year schedule or less was set to 50%.It was scheduled to go down to 40% in 2018 and 30% in 2019 and then 0% in 2020.But then Trump got elected, and he enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.That moved the bonus depreciation percentage to 100% from 2017 to 2022.In 2023 it went down to 80% and it’s currently at 60%.Depending on who gets elected again, 100% may be back on the table.Only time will tell.We know that the US government wants to incentivize more development and ownership of RE.They want Americans to continue to build and maintain our physical world.That’s why real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged assets in the US.Depreciation and bonus depreciation for RE are very positive and will likely continue in the years ahead.

It’s worth a look see, just do your homework up front before hiring the other professionals to make this happen.Good luck

My PMLs are people with self-directed IRA who are perfectly fine with 5-year term while earning double-digit returns passively tax-free in their SDIRA.
