Previous owner before the tax sale was not even aware the property was up for tax sale(long story).

I'm planning to have ROI, rents, cashflow, expenses, debt service, repairs/maintenance, return on equity, appreciation (I think this works over the long-term, kind of hard to predict in the short term especially with what we've seen in the last few years, but I usually conservatively estimate this anyway at 2%) and return on equity.

If I want to check what they've been doing I can see the photos they've taken, check my inventory or see how long they spent.

Got a long way to go against them when comparing the vote to comment ratio. 

Long term I do see this property being a great asset so we don't want to sell necessarily.

@Karen Kushner, as long as your replacement property contains an equivalent amount of the same type of property that was segregated then the depreciation will be deferred in the 1031. 

I underpaid on W-2 slightly, had long term capital gains on stock sales, and a small income gain on my personal K-1. 

We can't build as much in the northeast, so as long as there's demand on a Micro scale in the northeast values will hold and young people should be purchasing a long term fixed payment asset. 

But, part of his point is that IF I do not qualify, it may be a long time before I can take advantage of those losses from the bonus depreciation anyways.

Been looking in Ohio, Florida, and Philly.A SFH to keep as a long term rental?
