Jay, many of the added accoutrements that go along with STRs are considered personal property and can be eligible for bonus depreciation, which make them much more desirable for cost seg.A dock is considered 'land improvements' and depreciates on a 15 year schedule, which you can also bonus depreciate. 

Mobile Home Parks can generate a lot of bonus depreciation. 

If your bonus is dependent on how many hours you bill (and you pay for people to deliver your dry cleaning and food so you can keep billing), why would you be behind in your rent and draft letters back and forth arguing about it?

I am after debt pay-down for long-term equity and whatever appreciation bonus comes my way.

And bonus is seller financing so off the books. but i wouldnt go more than that.   

But... that $500 referral bonus that Martel pays you (or anyone) who refers them a client who actually closes a deal makes posting about this over and over and over a potentially lucrative side hustle of sorts, no? 

The positives are that is can potentially be lucrative, especially if your sale is timed well with the market prices, it can be a legacy asset, has extreme tax benefits in most jurisdictions due to agricultural status if planned correctly, and as a bonus can provide habitat for wildlife if planned well. 

My question is whether I can benefit from loss offset, primarily from Bonus Depreciation stemming from our renovation, while my business partner can capture loss carry-forwards? 

What I noticed is that your comments didn’t include the bonuses other commenters mentioned about how the personal hand holding, Palak’s direct support and the support from fellow cohort members really made this program worth its’ while.

Parents (like me) will book without that stuff, so I don't believe it'll make substantial upticks in bookings but a bonus for these types of guests.I'd be more worried about the highchair breaking and a kid getting hurt than it getting stolen.
