We currently own the property free & clear.This is what we're looking for:Credit screening for Primary Guarantor partner only (81% ownership stake)Minimum 75% LTV on refinance, we've heard of 80% LTV on a DSCR purchase but haven't been able to find anyone to do that on a Refi0% Origination feeTitle in LLC nameSorry to hear about your prior experience!

Quote from @Melanie Baldridge: In 2025 the bonus depreciation rate is 40%.This means that if you bought a property for $1M in 2025, did a cost seg study and found $300K in eligible assets that you could depreciate, you could take 40% of that $300K as bonus depreciation to offset your income in the first year.40% of $300K = $120K.You then apply that $120K to the owner’s personal tax rate to find the final amount that they can defer in year 1.If your tax rate is 37%, you can defer $66.6K.This is a big deal even at the 40% bonus depreciation rate this year.It’s a massive benefit 

@Emily Gowen so as you pointed out you would not have to do a 1031 exchange on your current home to avoid the capital gains tax and coupled with what Dave Foster pointed out I think, speaking from experience you would have a high likelihood of success. 

ROI can vary, but some parking lots have great returns with minimal upkeep—just be sure to research zoning laws, demand, and operational costs before diving in.Good luck with your decision, and feel free to reach out if you want to chat more about any of these options! 

Bonus depreciation will finally be phased out in the 2027 tax year This is well said

My son currently lives in the townhouse b/c he is going to school and works in the area.Since he is young and starting out in life, I would like for him to only cover the basic costs (taxes, HOA, utilities) just enough for me to break even (I believe that will put him slightly little lower than market rent rates). 

They are so tax beneficial! 

How is it for preparing taxes? 

To avoid Prohibited Transactions, SDIRA investments really need to be passive.Oh, I'll also mention that SDIRAs are subject to UBIT tax.  

And she’s the one that released the latest tax rates and year to year comparisons in September of 2024.
