14 December 2024 | 6 replies
Here are the common exceptions:Relocation for Work: If your job requires you to move a significant distance from your current property (usually over 50 miles), you may qualify for a second FHA loan near your new workplace.Increase in Family Size: If your household has grown, and your current property no longer meets your family’s needs, you may qualify for a second FHA loan to purchase a larger home.Co-Borrower Separation: If you co-signed on an FHA loan and are no longer living in the property (e.g., after a divorce or separation), you may qualify for a second FHA loan for your primary residence.Non-Occupying Co-Borrower: If you were a co-signer but did not occupy the original property, you may qualify for another FHA loan as the primary borrower.Important Note: FHA guidelines typically require you to demonstrate that the current property will not meet your needs or is no longer feasible as your primary residence.2.

Bonus depreciation ?
16 December 2024 | 0 replies
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.
