Is there any tax benefits or reason why we should wait until next year to buy these next 2 homes (to spread out deductions or something) or should we just buy the next one as soon as we find a good property to buy.Thanks! 

They could decide tomorrow to levy a mandatory assessment of $2000 for roof repair.

I first thought I would use it to do crowdfunding investments but I believe they gives you part of depreciation deduction in most cases so I lose that valuable deduction (though the gain on sale would be tax free).

My mother manages it (that's another story) and when we go to visit her, because we are visiting the rental, part of the trip is tax deductible.

Keeping the license active also provides a lot of tax deductions.

The deductible is higher at $3,000 versus $1,000.Not the most exciting news, I know everyone's looking forward to the pictures!

This concern was primarily my own deduction based on discussion with people who had been in re-meditated properties.

There are lots of deductions that can be made so the numbers can vary widely. 

Is there a place on the 1040 that I would enter the catch up depreciations, as calculated with Form 3115, and thus deduct from my 2015 income?

If the tenant caused damage to the property while they were living there the management company should have either deducted the cost of the damages from the security deposit or sued the tenant in housing court depending on the laws in Florida and whether or not you had a security deposit.
