Bonus depreciation and Section 179 allowances for improvements can be utilized, with the latter, however, capped at zero to prevent negative losses.

The other bonus to a DSCR loan over a commercial one is that the interest rate is fixed for the entire loan and the lender can take the loan out 30 years.

I imagine that hourly is most common but is it worth incentivizing them with bonuses?

I use my annual bonus checks from my full time job and stock rewards to provide cash to finance my property investments. 

I make about ~$60-75K/year (bonus dependent) as a market research analyst focused primarily on the regulated US online gambling industry. 

I would like to offer actively managed STRs for a year or two until the end of bonus depreciation or longer.

I am looking at different models for paying an inside sale agent (appointment setter) and so far I am considering:$14/hour$100 bonus for 5 or more appointments set in 1 week$20 per appointment after 5 in 1 week$100 bonus for every listing transaction that closesOn average, this person should make about $16.85/hour or $2,360/month if they hit the bonuses at the rate I am forecasting. (2 $100 appointment bonuses + 2 listings sold bonuses each month)I am curious if anyone is having success with a model similar to this.

This will allow you to use bonus depreciation to offset some of the gain.
