The article below sheds light on how DSCRs come into play with the BRRRR method.

We fixed everything in the first 3-5 weeks, plus paint, carpet, landscaping, then rented it out.

First impressions matter and presenting a property in its best light can attract potential buyers and increase its market value.

@Marc Shin I like the idea of a dusk photo of it’s the porch and maybe interior lights on.

This will shine a light on the areas you have gaps.

Arthur - As I mentioned to another poster above, please call the SEC and give them all the details about your interactions with RADD, about company insiders looting their investment capital in the bright light of day through the use of multi million dollar promissory notes between the Mendenhall family and the company, that they've been paying their sales force in Ontario and Pennsylvania via 1099 and that a review of the real estate assets in Philadelphia newspaper and Texas that is subject to foreclosure litigation does not match up to what they should have been purchasing based upon what is described in their sales presentations.  

My reports don’t always ‘kill the deal,’ but they do shine a light on critical information investors may not be getting from their team.

Can I get them to come down in price or get them to install motion lights / fake cameras? 

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.

While not every mentor is a guaranteed path to success, proper vetting through referrals, review of a mentor’s track record, and alignment between the mentee and the mentor can shine some light on whether or not this relationship is a good fit.
