I highly recommend applying for the Chase Ink Business Preferred as right now the bonus is 100,000 points and they are some of the most versatile and valuable points in the travel hacking game.

We are setup that way and we do allow dogs which is a bonus for most guests.

You wanting them out is an added bonus, and maybe you don't fight as hard to hold them to it later, but you won't get what you don't ask for.I agree with everything else Kathy mentioned. 

What I have seen is most states follow bonus depreciation but not Section 179.

Like anything, it's close to a major transportation route and a possibility of a go train in the area is an absolute bonus.

A mother-in-law suite is excellent if it is big enough and bonus points if it a separate structure from the house.

I'm curious if there is still a way to capture tax advantages in the future, such as bonus depreciation, since the STR was not created within the first year of buying the property.

In RE, appreciation is a bonus perk. 

Note the cash flow gets the Prop 13 bonus on top of the outstanding rent to purchase ratio making the San Diego cash flow better than would be implied by the rent to price ratio alone.Good luck

The banks CEO's should be fired if it turns out they did indeed fail at risk management, paid themselves bonuses or sold off shares/engaged in insider trading or otherwise contributed to the collapse, and losing their jobs or facing criminal charges will be their punishment.
