Quote from @Melanie Baldridge: In 2025 the bonus depreciation rate is 40%.This means that if you bought a property for $1M in 2025, did a cost seg study and found $300K in eligible assets that you could depreciate, you could take 40% of that $300K as bonus depreciation to offset your income in the first year.40% of $300K = $120K.You then apply that $120K to the owner’s personal tax rate to find the final amount that they can defer in year 1.If your tax rate is 37%, you can defer $66.6K.This is a big deal even at the 40% bonus depreciation rate this year.It’s a massive benefit 

To avoid Prohibited Transactions, SDIRA investments really need to be passive.Oh, I'll also mention that SDIRAs are subject to UBIT tax.  

Did I mention there is no property tax in Croatia ;) When you buy abroad, it’s not just a property that you are buying...you are buying into a lifestyle.

My understanding is that you can sell assets and defer capital gaines taxes in an opportunity zone until the property is sold.

Hello all! I want to share an experience ive had over the past fe...

Once you close on your property:- You need to get a Phila tax IDhttps://www.phila.gov/services/payments-assistance-taxes/tax...- Then you need to register for a commercial activity licensehttps://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/g...- Once you have a commerical activity license you can finally get your rental licensehttps://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/g...All of the above will be done using the eClipse online portal systemIf your property is built before 1978:The system will kick back your application and you will not be able to get a rental license until you get a Lead Safe test.This is when you will hire a licensed 3rd party to come out and doing a lead test for you.

Nothing 3 or 4 unit will pass the FHA self-sufficiency test, unless you are going to get the property for at least 30% off of fair market value. 

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

Lower Property Taxes and a booming STR market.

Keep in mind if you are renting a house to a company you can write whatever you want into the lease.
