Are you interested in doing so in the near future?

Home Light is a company that will essentially loan you money against the equity in the house you re selling.

I also call the local court system to see if anything is flagged on file. 

However, I have found that in Seattle, most investors stay away due to the stringent renting laws and the high cost of real estate.

Is it the ARV value or? 

Bonus depreciation is just a special part of the US tax code.It allows you to take accelerated depreciation on portions of your property depending on when an asset is put into service.At the time of this writing, you can write off a huge portion (60% in 2024) of many qualified components that have a useful lifespan of 15 years or less.That means a certain percentage of things like landscaping, sidewalks, latches, appliances, fences, certain flooring, etc is depreciable in year 1.The bonus depreciation rate percentage changes yearly depending on the administration and the tax code.For years 2015 through 2017 first-year depreciation for all the items on a 15-year schedule or less was set to 50%.It was scheduled to go down to 40% in 2018 and 30% in 2019 and then 0% in 2020.But then Trump got elected, and he enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.That moved the bonus depreciation percentage to 100% from 2017 to 2022.In 2023 it went down to 80% and it’s currently at 60%.Depending on who gets elected again, 100% may be back on the table.Only time will tell.We know that the US government wants to incentivize more development and ownership of RE.They want Americans to continue to build and maintain our physical world.That’s why real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged assets in the US.Depreciation and bonus depreciation for RE are very positive and will likely continue in the years ahead.

I've had negative experiences with a bad general contractor and a non-paying renter (leading to an eviction), so I'm being extra cautious in selecting the right lender this time.Could anyone recommend a trustworthy lender in the Los Angeles area who can guide me through this difficult time?

I don't know the exact location of the property, but from my perspective a lot of former drive throughs are being replaced or no longer used, especially at former bank properties.  

I’m planning to move to the OKC area in the summer of 2025 and was wondering if anyone here has invested in real estate either in the city or nearby, especially if you’ve also lived there.

Hi, As interest rate is dropping with impending federal reserve's announcement next week, I feel like this is a good time to tap into equity in my investment property in Cambridge, MA 02141 and maybe purchase another property with cash.
