With some automation I could knock it down a significant amount but I want that bonus depreciation to offset my income so I'll worry about that when I scale. 

The newer baseboard heaters seem to work very well and the added bonus is that the electric is paid by the tenant.I personally installed electric baseboard heaters in a single family property that I owned. 

Yes you are right I would be able to depreciate less in the future given the initial cost segregated bonus depreciation, and perhaps even start making accounting gains.

I used Navy Federal's RealtyPlus program to find a home and get the bonus back.

The 100% bonus depreciation from TCJA is insane, even factoring in just a few items into my segregation study can easily amount to tens of thousands in year 1 taxes. 

Bonus points if it is a neighborhood that is poised to appreciate.  

Likewise, income from tips has to be treated the same as bonus, commission, and overtime, meaning we can't count it until you have a two year history. 

Bonus for getting them at resorts with central reservation and booking.2.

On top of that, it is a 5 bdrm home so I'm thinking I'd get those looking for a 4 bedroom (and would consider the 5th bedroom a bonus).  

There are endless possibilities for this it seems, depending on your layout and how you generate more income to help offset the cost of equipment if you needed to- keeping in mind your equipment would be deductible.Thanks to the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017 (TCJA) you’re likely going to be deducting expenses like this at bonus depreciation in year one (verify with CPA) Overall if you’ve gone over the numbers and they make sense to you, there are numerous ways to go about generating capital to invest in new equipment if you need to.
