Bonus is they helped me become an anonymous owner through the LLC's and trusts. 

I'm particularly interested in the following areas:* offsetting ordinary (w2) income with bonus depreciation (with cost seg) on RE investments as REP* 1031 exchangeI already read a lot on those subjects, but I still have questions, so I need someone with lots of patience to listen and answer my questions.Appreciate your help!

Your definition is correct for "legal non-conforming".The "legal" part of "non-conforming" is dropped when it doesn't apply so most commonly people call these units "non-conforming", "finished", "in-law suite/unit", or "bonus unit".Non-conforming: Any property that doesn't meet current zoning requirements.Legal non-conforming: A non-conforming property that was lawfully established under previous zoning regulations and is allowed to continue its use.Based on his posts @Mario Morales is referring to a non-conforming unit.

I have gone round in circles trying to figure this out.

And again, make sure it flows naturally.Keep it natural and cleanYou get bonus points if your templates look like they're not from the 90s.

Joe,Actually we have been in NoteSchool since March 2012 (I think it was, time flies)..We bought both sides of the business immediately because we saw how they both go hand in hand, and it has been really helpful to keep a well rounded knowledge of how the business works.We are participating in all of the mentor tools available to us, and we travel to more classes and networking opportunities all the time.

The issue I have and would like to hopefully get some advice on is the below:In real estate specific tax strategies - it is my understanding that I would be able to generate significant “losses” through the use of bonus depreciation and other strategies. 

But I have also opened up new cards for specific properties if there is a nice sign up bonus for a card that I know I will hit during the rehab and furnishing phase.

On the job, they zapped me around the 3rd or 4th round of layoffs. 

With its year-round tourism and growing population, Branson offers flexibility for investors who want to balance between the two strategies.
