This applies regardless of the type of deduction you choose to take for the vehicle.If section 179 doesn't work in your situation, there is bonus depreciation, which allows for a deduction of up to about $20k of the value of the vehicle for 2024.

Once I reached that goal, the drive for the next one felt just as strong.Reminder to enjoy the journey and that it’s not about the destination.Every goal you reach, you will enjoy it for a short time, then be on to the next one.How do you balance striving to do better and for more while understanding that it will never be enough?

Now my goal is to Build Long-Term wealth here with my wife but I'm very interested and determined within the BRRRR Strategie.

The goal is to set up and or buy smaller portfolios, or sell the entire brand which we have created.
