Quote from @Fernando Alonso: Quote from @Peter Walther: Quote from @Fernando Alonso: Hi Isaiah,Great question.First off, it’s important to keep in mind that each state has its own foreclosure laws, and even within the same state, local procedures and timelines can vary depending on the county or the type of foreclosure (judicial, non-judicial, or tax-related).Foreclosure investing can be a great niche, high returns and low risk if you conduct proper due diligence and understand the legal framework.

Here's a framework for how buying property can create more tax efficiency for you.The 6 levers of depreciation:Lever 1 = % of Land:One of the components of a property is land.Land is NOT DEDUCTIBLE, so low value land properties mean more tax deduction.A value of your overall purchase will be assigned to the land or lot.You receive no near-term tax benefits for buying land.For example, if you buy a $2 MM industrial building outside a rural town on 5 acres, the land value could be $5k an acre.The land represents ~1% of the purchaseOn the contrary, if you purchase a $2 MM shack in Manhattan on a postage stamp lot, the land could represent 99%Lever 2 = % of the property with a shorter useful life.Not all parts of a piece of real estate are depreciated at the same speed.Certain personal property assets have SHORTER lifespans in the eyes of the IRS vs the standard 27.5/39 year lives.This means bonus depreciation.Properties with tons of this often have:- Over-developed land sites (hardscaping, pools, retaining walls)- Fancy Fixtures- Fancy Furniture (STRs!)
