Any neighbor that can throw you on a stretcher and take you to the hospital is a bonus.

Bonus points if you’ve cracked the code on speeding up a slow city hall!

We keep half the house for our use year round but rent the other half out all year long.  2024 tax year will be the first year we depreciate the asset.  

Now I am starting off on my own doing traditional wholesaling in Central FL, with an additional bonus of being able to offer low equity mirror wrap solutions to those who are in need.

As you suggested, meeting with local investors and people in that community can be a huge bonus in terms of building your network and finding deals.

Additionally, high-income earners with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) over $250,000 (married filing jointly) may be subject to the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT).For 2025, bonus depreciation is at 40%, so consider leveraging it for eligible property assets like appliances or fixtures to accelerate deductions.

I’m curious: are others who house hack buying homes they can just barely afford, or are you sticking closer to the ~30% housing rule and using house hacking income as an added bonus?

We've gone through multiple rounds of support, attempts at escalations, etc, and time and again, AirBNB maintains their ruling.  

It's all speculation at this point, but we are very hopeful to have 100% bonus depreciation or some form of it reinstated.

Vacancies can hit hard in the summer if you don’t lock in year-round tenants, and SUNY towns can be seasonal compared to broader rental markets.
