Hi all - wife works at Amazon and a substantial part of her income is guaranteed monthly bonuses and eventually RSUs.

These tenants rented a two bedroom and one bathroom and as a bonus I gave them also this small garage storage (too small to fit a car). 

I am a new STR investor and am looking to get cost segregation studies on the 2 STRs I purchased in 2022, with the hope of using them for bonus depreciation against my W-2 income.

And as a bonus apparently you'd save $7k+.But I won't close your sub-to unless you demonstrate the means and ability to problem-solve if and when it goes sideways. 

Look at bonus depreciation for example.

I had a 40K bonus from a large sale from my 9-5 that I used as a down payment to enter into an owner finance deal to purchase.

I'm thinking: Bonuses for X amount of five star cleanings... and setting a clear standard IE cleaning this unit takes 2 people 2 hours on average.

The study identifies with forensic engineering detail the immediate Bonus Depreciation 5, 7 and 15-year personal property class lives qualifying portions of a building that are normally buried in 27.5 year residential or 39 year commercial categories.

You will probably want a cost segregation study done to get bonus depreciation.

Obviously this is an added bonus to the deal.
