However, if you've already closed cash I'd say it's a waste of money. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

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.

There are a lot of investors that want to get started and don't have the money to buy a 20 unit, but want more than a SFR, so they buy a duplex to quad.I only know of a handful of quads in my market that got cut up into 4 condos.  

Cut your teeth on something easy. 

You want to look for uneven multifamily houses to house hack so you aren't wasting bedrooms in your unit and so you don't have to room hack.

I do, however, see you regularly posting regularly on LinkedIn, in a similar fashion to your posts last year here on BiggerPockets.Normally, this would be an issue that I'd move on from and not waste my time on.

A strong buyers market indicates sellers price cutting and listings being bought under value which would lead to equity losses. 

A Cut Above lawn and landscape out of Andover is run by my partner Andrew.

Long story short, I felt I wasted money, and gave up on the course entirely a month after purchasing.
