As my net worth has grown, so has my income from wages/bonus/stock grants.

How can a agent earn a bonus?

Hi @Chris Jargens,I'm not going to offer a direct answer to your question, but I'll offer some "bonus points" for that property: - Duplexes come with a rate bump and higher conventional loan down payment requirements. - SFRs w/ ADUs do not come with that rate bump or the higher conventional down payment requirement. 

I'm thinking along the lines of a trial period where after a certain period of time I'd offer some kind of quarterly bonuses based on lack of turnover/rents paid on time ect ect.

You may have to look for neighborhoods that are trending upwards to get the bonus of property appreciation.

It rents much like a single family home (less hassle and less hands on) but I get the the bonus of having two sides to rent.

My question is can I use the accelerates/ bonus depreciation against my tax liability for ordinary income?

To use income there has to be a 2 year history (for bonuses and OT as well) and assurances that the income will continue in the future.

Having 3 units is also a bonus because most are illegal 2's or use the basement as a 3rd (which I want to avoid -- this one uses a converted garage space). 

Property has three units with two rented out for 600 and 500 a month.Property also had 13 storage units on it that rent for 45 each.My plan: Raise rents to 800 a month for two bed 1 bath units.Create a studio out a bonus area and charge 650/month.Use the garage as more storage and charge 150 a month for storage in thatRaise rents to $55/month in the 13 storage units.
