But I'm always open to using different methods and trying new approaches.  

The key lies in understanding how the depreciation rules apply to different types of properties and the potential tax savings they offer.For SFR and small multifamily properties, bonus depreciation and increased expensing limits can still provide significant tax advantages(currently 60% for 2024).

So, if you are paying 3 points with 25% down...that's a lot different than 3 points with 15% down.  

@Henry HsiehTo provide a different perspective:I am NOT a property manager so I have no skin in this game  But I can tell you, as a GP involved with over 1100 units and $140M AUM, good property management is a big key to successful investment. 

@Kiley Boss, I recommend going a slightly different route.

The only downside is the time difference when its 11am in NYC, its 11pm in Manila. 

That's just one out of a thousand different nuances that makes cost seg so complex. 

Had 3 different tenants in 3 different units purchase homes this year.

The cities you mentioned are all very different markets.

My goal with that is to foster an environment where college students can better prepare themselves financially by improving their financial literacy and exposing them to different types of investments early on.
