STR standard depreciation is 39 years @Andy Lanyi@Jonathan Cooper even if you take Bonus Depreciation as @Basit Siddiqi highlighted the remainder 40% will be prorated using the Half-year convention or Mid-quarter convention used in line with what you read in IRS Pub 946 

I did this in the MS market and while the advantages you pointed out were true.. markets that have slow appreciation and or areas where builders can keep building for low dollar amounts like the mid west.

That will allow you several benefits like adding the square footage to your property, having it appreciate in value as more ADUs are added to the neighborhood, legally rent it out within the city's parameters around long-term, mid-term, and short-term guidelines, and feel good about your investment.

There is a mid-match between wages and housing costs.

Leases expire mid 2025. 

I don't go above 70% generally and prefer mid or low 60s. 

I’ve found success by focusing on emerging neighborhoods, avoiding flood-prone areas, and exploring short- or mid-term rentals to tap into the steady stream of tourists and business travelers.Good luck!

New to RE investing, have watched tons of BP episodes.My goal is to pursue mid-long term buy and hold rental properties, either single or multi-family.

A lot of this process depends on your laws regarding STR and Mid term leases/occupancy?
