I was shocked to see that my local bank was offering investment props for 20% down, not 25% which was an added bonus when shopping around.I think variable rate mortgages, hard money lending, DSCR loans are more for seasoned investors, but that's just my opinion.

I had the option of getting my deposit back, however we would not have gotten lucky with property increases if we did...BONUS !

Two generous bedrooms upstairs plus a full bath.

It's a bonus to cash flow, tax benefits, and principal pay down.

But, you'd also assess the potential "bonuses," like the ADU potential (cost to build/convert vs rental value). 

My realtor thinks a full price offer and he is confident it will resell for at least $450 if not more it I am trying to be conservative in my numbers- generous budget for rehab, conservative in ARVSince this is my first flip I want it to be successful, worst case scenario I break even.

If you establish a rapport with the seller, and he or she is not in immediate need of the money, you may be surprised the generous terms you can get.

The study identifies with forensic engineering detail the immediate Bonus Depreciation 5, 7 and 15-year personal property class lives qualifying portions of a building that are normally buried in 27.5 year residential or 39 year commercial categories.As a reminder, bonus depreciation will start to phase out in 2023.

With my thinking for someone who will live in the house as well as room sharing other people or whatever income, they can generate it will be a win-win situation, on top, they will definitely get bonus equity on day one.

Unless you have a qualified intermediary for the 1031 in place prior to the sale you cannot later perform a 1031 exchange.You might be able to create some accelerated or bonus depreciation on elements of your purchases that lessen your tax bill.
