Plus I get the added bonus of inspections, the bank doing the trash out, title insurance, and I don't have to close within 24 hours.

While appreciation is always a nice bonus, our primary objective is to build a portfolio that also yields reliable income over the long term.

I see the House passed the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024, meaning that bonus deprecation may get extended. 

If you are getting into commercial, make sure you read up on cost segregation, bonus depreciation, lease structures, in addition to underwriting approaches. 

The seller won't even be able to offer bonuses to entice buyer agents!

thanks If you bought it vacant, then many of the expenses may have in fact been acquisition costs to be added to basis or depreciated separately. 100% bonus depreciation was available on certain improvements or items PURCHASED AND PLACED IN SERVICE after 9/27/17.The 750 have to be in Development or redevelopment, Construction or reconstruction, acquisition or conversion, rental, management or operation, leasing, brokerage.

Then I could accelerate the bonus depreciation (at 60% for 2024). 

There is plenty of office support, AppFolio software, I am open to bumps in commission/bonus structure -- portion of rent raises, lock changes, identifying more MF buildings, commissions IF we decide to sell any properties, etc. 

Can I claim bonus depreciation for the property purchased in 2023 against W2 income in 2024?

It's a nice bonus, but it's not the focus.
