Would it be possible to buy the house as a primary and then in year two claim bonus depreciation if I moved out and had it as a rent by room house?

Quite sure I can block/mute people on LinkedIn or really any social networking site.

If you could provide more information about the contract it may open up more ideas.I would agree with @Zane Cress that a tenant buy-out would be a good option, although if you are dealing with 5-6 properties (And how ever many units per property) you're looking at an extremely high cost.

Nick, are you referring to a HELOC on your primary home then using it to buy an investment property?

Hey @Yoel Peyamipour - I'm a broker and investor in NYC and come across deals in the Bronx often, but don't have anyone buying there actively. 

With 15% in my market you are looking at you could probably buy two properties off the bat and they should cashflow you conservatively 2k a month, could be up to 3k.

When you are buying deals, always focus on our exit strategy.
