Been slowly rehabbing my own primary residence and debating if I myself would want to rent it out or continue living in it.

I don't know how to make this happen but the numbers work well, so I'm looking for creative advice/equity partners/private money/hard money  for how to make this happen, and then when my business sells I can pay back the loan and find financing at that point to continue the rehab.

We have 10,000 boomers leaving the workforce each day, and this will continue for years.

When you do a 1031 exchange, the next property you buy continues down the same depreciating term. 

For example, I have repeatedly informed him of my very negative experience with ABC Capital Investments (still going on almost one year with no payments to show for it) and yet he continues to promote ABC Capital Investments in Baltimore and Philadelphia despite fully knowing that many people continue to have very bad experiences with them.

with the current market micro & macro trends, our market is poised to continue to go up for the foreseeable future.

I would recommend finding a way to continue to practice in some capacity, at the very least to cover living expenses.

People seem to buy mainly for appreciation, but I'm not sold appreciation will continue to rise the way it has the past 5 - 6 years, so feel like CF is the safer investing avenue for me. 

I think he was upset because I used him in the past and he may have expected that I would continue with his services. 

Bonus depreciation is just a special part of the US tax code.It allows you to take accelerated depreciation on portions of your property depending on when an asset is put into service.At the time of this writing, you can write off a huge portion (60% in 2024) of many qualified components that have a useful lifespan of 15 years or less.That means a certain percentage of things like landscaping, sidewalks, latches, appliances, fences, certain flooring, etc is depreciable in year 1.The bonus depreciation rate percentage changes yearly depending on the administration and the tax code.For years 2015 through 2017 first-year depreciation for all the items on a 15-year schedule or less was set to 50%.It was scheduled to go down to 40% in 2018 and 30% in 2019 and then 0% in 2020.But then Trump got elected, and he enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.That moved the bonus depreciation percentage to 100% from 2017 to 2022.In 2023 it went down to 80% and it’s currently at 60%.Depending on who gets elected again, 100% may be back on the table.Only time will tell.We know that the US government wants to incentivize more development and ownership of RE.They want Americans to continue to build and maintain our physical world.That’s why real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged assets in the US.Depreciation and bonus depreciation for RE are very positive and will likely continue in the years ahead.
