If you invite the government into your business, you get the good and the bad.2) In my experience,(and I may get some hate mail for this) the average section 8 resident is harder on the property. 

When you talk about average Joe getting a mortgage, that risk usually shifts right away to the federal government, which is not the case with commercial loans.

The most cost effective and safe investment you can make to cover your 50K debt and still use the same 20K capital to increase the value of your holdings is invest in short term fx government treasury swaps.

But if you decided to do your own thing, then ask for help afterwords, they would refer you to an attorney that handles this type of problem in your area A lot of the government back loans such as FHA and VA is not available for title insurance if you buy them Sub2.

This is because Mortgage backed securities are in direct competition with investors looking for "safer" investments backed by the full faith of the United States Government.

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.
