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.

Also, I don't know if it would be worth it from a liability perspective either, but would advise to chat with an insurance pro/legal pro.When purchasing a primary residence, conventional loan guidelines will require you to take down the property in your personal name.When it comes to taxes, you'll likely be able to take the standard deduction AND itemize Interest, Taxes, Insurance, Depreciation, and expenses prorated based off the rented portion of the property when reporting the 1040 along with W2 income.

Only thing better would be initial deposit and then paid in full upon Certificate of Occupancy and punchlist complete.Of course, standard items should also be checked: licensed, insured, willing and able to pull all required permits, reference checks.I would also commonly avoid the cheapest bid you get.  

You seem to already have US based accounts, so you are good there too.The last item here is the definition of "good".  

The final straw was when my property went into abatement after an inspection, due to the property management company's failure to address tenant requests for the exact items that caused the issue.

Depending how long your LTR was in there, you might need to fix or update a few items. 

I asked for proof (receipts, itemized costs, etc.), but he hasn’t provided any satisfactory documentation. 2.

Now, I typically only use them to skim stats on reviews and the more basic items. 

You don’t need a 50 page llan you will never refer too but a one pager with actionable items is my recommendation
