It's easier to memorize the Starbucks menu or the NFL rosters.Section 179 basics- can deduct 100% of the cost in the 1st year- applies to 3-yr, 5-yr, 7-yr and 10-yr assets and "qualified improvement property" (a separate post would be needed to explain)- cannot create a net loss- minimum 50% business use required- other limits and restrictions applyBonus depreciation basics, as of today (mid-2023)- 100% of the cost in 2022, 80% in 2023, 60% in 2024, and so on until 0% in 2027- applies to assets with up to 20-yr life- can create a net lossBoth methods have their pros and cons, and choosing between them, as well as generally optimizing depreciation, is a job for an experienced accountant.Cost segregationWhat cost segregation accomplishes is extracting faster-depreciation property (as in 5-yr, 7-yr and 15-yr) out of slow-depreciation real property.

If you can't extract yourself and cashflow then you're trapped. 

The only difference is that if you are succesful the amount you can actually extract from the business is limited to what the business owns. 

In addition to using all of my immediate savings (which was not much at the time), I got a HELOC to extract every last drop of equity from my primary residence, borrowed the max from my 401K, borrowed the max against cash value of life insurance, obtained a "emergency" salary advance from my job, and maxed-out my credit cards.  

@Shawn Kalakota  not to disagree with you but no all of Aussie land has performed that way.. there is price correction going on in Western AU right now  Perth.. their economy tied to mineral extraction which is down.Eastern is about like you say.. although one being a US citizen would want to look at tax implications.. its not like US and don't think there is ability to 1031 if you make a big move up.although I like the paying rent every week like they do there and no check's every one has electronic banking so its not the weak renter we have in the US rental markets. 

It's a majority black community so a lot of people have been in the business of just extracting capital and not doing maintenance, so it presents more opportunities than Huntsville where hedge funds are doubling down.

Also keep in mind that you don't have to partner on a deal with an investor to extract value from them.

However if I do a BRRRR I can achieve infinite return by extracting all of my investment.

I guess you are very in tune with your marketing.What impresses me the most is you ask me, someone that does organic, these questions, which is brilliant because you are extracting the behavioral patterns of organic traffic, not paid traffic.

By creating very nice common kitchens and bathrooms shared by more people another $500 (at least) could be extracted from the same space.
