I was just speaking to an MLO that wanted a signing bonus because a big lender offered them one.

This is not to say an experienced sponsor has bad deals, they will, but an investor typically will not only get 100% wiped out but if the company also took bonus depreciation the LP's will also have to pay that money back to the IRS, so its a double whammy (not an accountant but one may be able to chime in more on this).If you are a LP and invested in a syndication that has bridge debt, I strongly recommend you watch it very closely.

I want to be prepared talking about tax strategies with my CPA and I have a few questions. 1.Can I take bonus depreciation on the ADU?

Get it while the gettin is good (bonus points for who gets the reference :).

It should be about 1/3 to 1/2 the price of conventional hvac system and you could advertise central hvac with the bonus of having a zone system as each unit is individually controlled.

And the space savings are a nice bonus too.

Other beneficial tax strategies would be a cost segregation study and bonus depreciation which would allow you to accelerate your depreciation and not have it set at 27.5 years. 

That would be a great bonus and it would help me get to my repair and occupancy saving goals faster.One thing I need to research is how lower rates impact rental rates.

Check out how much you could make by looking into what others charge in your area and think about throwing in bonuses for folks who stick around longer or if you offer some cool extras.
