@Steve K.Thanks for posing an engaging question. 

Especially bonus depreciation related to residential rental real estate.I suspect that if you're reviewing your "2018" books, merely "talked" to accountants you don't seem to have engagements with, and are now asking about bonus depreciation here on September 3, 2019, you're probably going to use and rely on the advice provided in this thread to DIY your extended tax return. 

I have some relator "boots" on the ground that I can engage with on an ad-hoc basis if needed. 

Your self-employment work activity is SGA if:The Three Tests: You render significant services to the business, and you had average monthly earnings over the SGA level ($1,130 in 2016); orYour work is comparable to the work of persons without disability in your community engaged in the same or similar businesses; orYour work is worth more than the SGA level earnings in terms of its effects on the business or when compared to what you would have to pay an employee to do the work.This should allow you to evaluate your own situation and determine if you are performing SGA in you business.  

In either case, your best defense is remaining engaged around your community and acting as a good neighbor that’s addressing the predictable complaints like noise and occupancy before they become an issue.

@Kristine EickmanShort Answer:  I suggest engaging a CPA/tax planner and/or a financial advisor. 

I am currently enrolled in classes to obtain my Real Estate License and I am eager to engage in wholesale deals and eventually expand my portfolio to include fix and flips.As a driven professional, I am keen on establishing connections with other investors and wholesalers within the state.

During my low debt famon period I bought a small piece of land I wanted, a truck that the opportunity jumped out at me, and an engagement ring.

Do not engage in back-and-forth discussions.

However, I can advice the seller where to go to get expert advice on legal issues.My real value to the home seller comes from marketing the property and I have a whole process for that.And I hope you do realize that people other than attorneys and realtors can engage in real estate transaction or as consultants as long as they don't represent the seller or buyer as either agent or attorney.
