The bonus is that it’s only 2hrs away from home and we get to enjoy it with our friends and family!

If you have a loft or bonus room, maybe make that area adults..multi game video, pinball and poker table and make the garage for the kids and a mini split is a must. 

I will be house hacking my primary home and I am wondering that are the implications on Solar tax credit and bonus depreciation?

No need to necessarily add value to the property with a rehab that can be a bonus if an opportunity presents itself.

Do I qualify to take advantage of bonus depreciation?

Talk to a CPA, but there are things like capturing bonus appreciation.

I am closing on a duplex this week with similar net, again, appreciation is just a bonus. 

You need to pass "material participation" test and personal use test, but that's for your future tax professional to explain.Yes, bonus depreciation is possible, but only on the current value of the personal property and land improvements.

Current annual income is $101k-Annual rent increases of 3% are realistic making annual income after 10 years $136k-If interest rates lower a refinance would lower annual mortgage expense-an added bonus over time would be appreciation (which will likely not happen within the next few years)Thank you for any input!
