Through depreciation, particularly accelerated depreciation and bonus depreciation, you can typically offset all rental income such that there is no taxable income from your rental . 

Note that California taxes capital gains as ordinary income (up to 13.3%) and does not conform to federal bonus depreciation rules.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I plan on offering that bonus commission and taking away that commission based on how soon they complete renovation. 

This is particularly effective when paired with bonus depreciation provisions.This method not only helps reduce your tax liability but also enhances cash flow, making it a powerful tool for real estate investors looking to grow their portfolios.3.

Most municipalities have different mix-use categories which dictate the precise commercial use that's allowed.A few additional observations on mix-use assets and how I approach them (1) they are generally more difficult to finance than multi-family assets so expect lower leverage terms even if the property performs just as well if not better than a multi-family property and therefore price this into your acquisition (2) I focus on mix-use assets where at least 80% of the income is generated through the residential component.
