my duplex needs new windows and a new HVAC. my understanding is these two items might qualify for the 100% bonus depreciation. 

Coming out of the IPO and M&A season, people may have extra money and bonuses just got paid out in most tech companies as well as there was a huge RSU vesting season as well.

If I manage well, and the numbers on the property exceed what my expectations were, either because income ended up being higher than expected or expenses were unexpectedly lower, i may give myself a little bonus. 

Another added bonus is that my younger brother is a student here as well. 

Yeah, you might not benefit from the bonus deduction even if you could claim it.

I believe you get way more bang for the buck with the triplex or another full property versus a bonus door on the current home.

My first thought was that to be able to make the same amount of $ per month without actively managing it sounds pretty enticing.

Another HUGE bonus of Wholesaling!

From what I understand, they can use bonus depreciation once a cost segregation study is done.
