.- (Bonus points here to make your New Jersey lender happy) Make a list of all the real estate you own on Schedule E, in order.

An idea I had was similar to what you said in option 1 which was buy new or used washers and dryers for each unit and just include that as a bonus feature to the unit that i’ve provided for the tenant, i’m guessing there are also some tenants who already have their own washers/dryers and wouldn’t want that added cost so providing it as a “added bonus” gives them an option and makes the unit more enticing.

I am fine making invoices on my own, but it would be a bonus if the interface had this feature built in.Let me know what you use or if you have any other ideas!

Or you buy a 2500+ sf house with a lot of bonus rooms that might be listed on mls as a 4/3 but really be a 6/3 or 7/3 with formal dining room, office, etc.

Bonus points if it’s a vacation market. 1 - needs to be within driving for a decent population. 2 - something in the area is drawing folks in. 3 - has to be properly regulated / zoned. 

Flat parking is a big bonus. 

Although this is the case, in 2023, you are allowed to bonus depreciate 80% of any depreciable items in the first year they were placed into service as long as the depreciation time period is 20 years or less for that item/improvement.

The only suggestion I have is to rent the third bonus/illegal apartment with one of the other apartments (Depending on the property layout).

It doesn't take appreciation into consideration as I believe appreciation is just a bonus.2.

Don’t count on appreciation, look at it as a bonus.
