He works for himself at his personal firm but knows real estate and answers questions for me all year free of charge.

As I purchase this in 2025 and have 0 personal use throughout the year I then plan to cost seg and use that for bonus depreciation (or what is left of it before phase out)... and wondering what % of furnishings I can deduct?

Bonus points if you have worked with them and have personal experience.The property is in South Carolina, if that matters. 

i have seen many do very well getting on a team.Myself personally I would concentrate on listings 1000%  Buyers only if well knownand wont waste your time. 

I think it would just be nice not to be the first person call for every issue.Appreciate you taking the time to share- Best! 

This will increase the return above what can be obtained on a passive investment.The flipside of having the power to control everything is that it can be alot of work (and a full-time job if a person is putting in sweat equity).

I wouldn't spend 2k on it or anything.Yeah I have one particular house where everyone who books it constantly says how pleasantly surprised they are at how nice it is and that it looks so much nicer in person than the photos.

But we’ll be definitely coming over to see things and meet in person etc before investing. 

Once you understand a neighborhood and a market, it's rinse and repeat, you don't have to visit every property in person.

However, you should be able to pass through the income / expenses / appreciation to your personal taxes.I'd hop on a call with a mortgage broker that does conventional and DSCR products - they will be able to answer your questions better than anyone.
