My overall goal for my professional career is to start an investment firm and own a big multifamily portfolio and get into development.

My aspirations include becoming a real estate developer, so I want to learn as much as I can.

The surrounding lots are developed and have houses, It is not a closed community but it looks like one.

(Land and construction cost, expected sale price, etc.)My last development in Chicago looked like this:Land = $300kConstruction Cost $650kHolding Cost/Closing Cost/etc. $50kProfit roughly $100kThat project was in Bucktown on the nw side of Chicago.

Your development deal will look much like a flip in the eyes of the IRS since it is 6-9 months as well you'll have the short-term side of taxes, not the capital gains taxing on it.  

We are solely working on assisted living:- Buying homes and leasing them at higher than market rates to these business operators- Purchasing existing businesses with the real estate- Developing / building newFor us, the business makes the real estate cash flow, we can create a massive impact, and the demand outpaces supply and will continue to be that way for the next couple decades.

I am a local Central Houston agent, investor and developer. 

Austin metro keeps expanding. Jarrell is planning on a population surge of 50,000 new folks. Jarrell is on the north side of Georgetown and within the very fast growing Williamson County. That shows the growth pattern...

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.

Areas with infrastructure growth and new development are excellent targets for long-term value.Key Tip: Adaptability is essential in 2025.
