When property appreciates and we get a windfall...that's just a bonus.

This will likely be depreciation, but bonus depreciation and the De Minimus Rule could help you accelerate the deductions.Finally, when you convert this to a rental increase your basis in the property for improvements that you've made since this isn't included in the original purchase price. 

As a side bonus, my credit score went up - apparently having that auto loan on my credit improved my credit mix (a bunch of real estate loans and zero balance credit cards with no installment loans is bad apparently). 

They are paid by the number of blogs they hit and the number of backlinks is a bonus for them hopefully this helps.

Rents in DC will always be solid, and as you pointed out earlier, if you can land some Section 8 tenants that's an added bonus.

It covers are the ground floor basics regarding Real Estate Investing and some bonus material too that is just not out there.

The MIL apartment, (which again, is totally self contained, even have their own laundry and separate entry) seems like a bonus to me, and judging by the look of it, it seems like I have a good chance of passing inspection with only minor hassle, if any.

I will not complain though, because I think the information was very useful for getting started and the bonus material we got when we signed up was very valuable.

The agreement I have gives me the installation for free, but I buy a 6 month subscription package...that I include as a bonus to the new buyer (or at least whatever is left of the subscription).  

It didn't get you any bonus points.
