Do I qualify to take advantage of bonus depreciation?

Talk to a CPA, but there are things like capturing bonus appreciation.

You need to pass "material participation" test and personal use test, but that's for your future tax professional to explain.Yes, bonus depreciation is possible, but only on the current value of the personal property and land improvements.

I am closing on a duplex this week with similar net, again, appreciation is just a bonus. 

Current annual income is $101k-Annual rent increases of 3% are realistic making annual income after 10 years $136k-If interest rates lower a refinance would lower annual mortgage expense-an added bonus over time would be appreciation (which will likely not happen within the next few years)Thank you for any input!

I am buying a Short term rental this year but will be using a property management company only for this year, which prohibits me from claiming bonus depreciation. 

I'm looking to figure out a rough estimate on the percentage that can be used for bonus depreciation if I were to purchase in this area.

You could ask your accountant about options for bonus depreciation or possibly updating the properties in order to receive depreciation deductions or write-offs for repairs, maintenance, etc.

For years we've been selling rentals without paying anything but a small flat fee bonus to buyer Agents.

Another option to consider may be to offer referral bonuses as well to try to fill up vacancies even faster.
