Odesk holds back your first payment to a VA for several days, to ensure you are satisfied.)11.I always pay by “Bonuses”.

That is just a bonus. 

I’m seeking cash flow with added bonus of potential appreciation.

I also got about $5K worth of points/bonuses/etc I had saved up from hotel/credit card points from work.

As an added bonus, by holding nonmanaging membership interests,  one may avoid paying self-employment tax, similar to limited partnership interests.  

@Matt McLeodI never assume my rentals are going to appreciate, so it is a great bonus when they do.This property passes my 1% rule test, so I'd look further at it as a rental.I would find out exactly how much the following expense are going to cost you each month.

(I've looked all over for info on this and have a lot more than the single article I posted.)Bonus question - Are you envious of this deal?

That's a good bonus that they have the 5% escalation already baked into the lease for June 2026. 

If the Senate splits 50/50 or falls in the control of the Democrats, I would expect a reversal of the tax cuts, elimination of the 1031 exchange and elimination of bonus depreciation under Section 179. 

@Yuko TanakaIn the nonprofit world you still won’t make a midlevel sales career, nonprofits don’t Incentivize and don’t bonus based on funds raised.
