As a bonus, I made a bunch of new friends along the way!

I would say 4 of them were really enticing from the pictures and the statements provided.

It is a bonus if there is an integrated way for tenants to send pictures and request repair/maintenance. 

As a bonus, the Anonymous Land Trust will beef up your protection strategy for this asset while also allowing you a way around that pesky Due on Sale clause.

To make my offer more enticing, I am thinking of making it a cash offer. 

If it works out that they we can use the property for a few days each year that's an added bonus. 

It gets complicated when you factor in state taxation.You normally report the rental activity in the state that the property is located in along with the state where you are a resident of.Further complications occur as some states follow the federal tax law of bonus depreciation while others don't.It also depends on what your income level is and whether or not you can claim real estate professional status.Best of luck.

My intention is to take an upfront 20% or so bonus depreciation on the $500k commercial building I bought last year.

One nice payday bonus will be when your mortgages are paid off your effective income will also rise - so you will have that to look forward to too of course.Good Luck and best wishes!

Bonus points if it works with SmartThings and doesn't require a subscription...
