As a matter of fact, I have openly ask a couple of posters before to tell me more about their services on an a public thread and they were happy to do so.

When it comes to real estate, here's a general list of eligible assets and their depreciable lifespans that you should know: Residential Rental Property = 27.5 yearsThis includes any building or structure where 80% or more of its gross rental income is from residential units.That means:- Apartment buildings- Single-family rental homes- Duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes- Mobile homes (used for residential rental)- Any kind of residential lodging facility where the primary purpose is long-term rentalCommercial Property = 39 yearsThis includes non-residential properties like:-Office buildings-Retail stores and shopping centers-Warehouses-Industrial complexes-Hotels and motels that do not qualify as residential rental propertyLand Improvements = 15 yearsThese include sidewalks, roads, fencing, some landscaping, and parking lots that are separate from the building.Personal Property = 5 or 7 yearsPersonal property used in a rental activity usually has a 5 or 7-year life.This includes most furniture, appliances, carpeting and various machinery.Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) = 15 yearsGenerally, this includes any improvements made to the interior of a non-residential building after the building was placed in service, excluding elevators, enlargements, and the internal structural framework.Computers and Related Peripheral Equipment = 5 yearsVehicles = 5 yearsNote that the land itself is not depreciable.

@Ryan Daulton,You don't have to buy a house in SDIRA without a loan; you can easily get a loan, but it must be non-recourse.

I’d love to come to a meeting of the minds and a public forum probably isn’t the best place to do that.

Allows rentals to be non-passive.

We do want to settle in a little bit here while continuing to do our homework, but hope to get into something in the next 6-12 months.With the way interest rates are looking now and what little I see on public listings, I think a smaller multi-family that needs a little rehab would be the best bet. 

Publication 336 (cash method section) gives a clear example very similar to the situation described where constructive receipt was made because the agent of the taxpayer received payment for the taxpayer. 

You have to find the areas that are either zoned for Hotel and Resort or have NUCs (non-conforming use) certificates. 

If you made those free they'd be complaining about jobs or supermarket deserts or lack of public transportation or some other issue.

Ask me off public to explain.But, the point is, you are going to pay based on the purchase price.
