Do what makes sense for kickbacks on your cards (hollar Amazon) but I have two main cc with great bonus plans that I use for most materials. 

There's more bonus content than included... and it just keeps coming

Like vehicles  airplane or equipment for your contracting business .. or real estate with its bonus depreciation but its going down and not as attractive as a few years ago for sure.   

Assets identified in this study include:Permanent Fixtures: windows, doors, bathroom fixturesStructural Components: Roof construction, drywall, wood framingBuilding systems: water heater, electrical distribution, HVAC, plumbingInterior Construction: Wood flooring, stairs, ceramic tileThis engineering-based cost segregation study included the following methodology:Physical Inspection through a site visitDocumentation review including architectural plans, accounting records and construction documentsA cost analysis which utilizes engineering principles in order to allocate costs to their applicable asset classificationsCalculation of the depreciation schedule using MACRSAs a reminder, bonus depreciation started to phase out in 2023.

The real estate appreciation, you can reduce your taxable income, and the interest on your mortgage is usually deductible, which is a nice bonus.

You can use REPS through your wife to offset your 2024 W-2 income by combining your time for material participation and doing a cost segregation and bonus depreciation on the remaining rentals.

Bonus that the rents are higher than the lower comps you pulled (double check because tenants shop around, so may be your comps were not equivalent). 

KowalIf this is true a sound strategy is to get bonus depreciation to get as much loss as possible (which gets to reduce my pension income) and as much sec1231 gain (which becomes cap gain)

One or two gurus spend on average of a documented $100,000 a month in employee costs, taxes, office space, marketing and bonuses.

The folks I have spoken to have been incredibly generous with their time and willing to help in any way.
