Furthermore, you will likely want to get a cost segregation study to accelerate the depreciation in the first year.Best of luck!

If you need current year tax offsets, you can do 1 short term rental with material participation, knowing it is an non-passive business with right participation.

., daily cleaning), in December 2024 and placed it in service in May 2025.I've encountered conflicting information about the OBBBA’s cutoff date for 100% bonus depreciation:Some sources suggest the property must be both acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, making it ineligible due to the December 2024 purchase (and thus limited to 40% for early 2025).Others indicate that the placed-in-service date (May 2025) determines eligibility for the 100% rate, regardless of the acquisition date.I understand the structure (likely 39 years as nonresidential real property) is ineligible, but components like furniture and landscaping (5-15 years) may qualify with a cost segregation study.

That’s where Cost Segregation comes in — a proven, IRS-approved tax strategy that lets real estate investors accelerate depreciation and unlock massive deductions early in ownership.And with the 2025 “One Big Beautiful Bill” bringing back 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property purchased after January 19, 2025, this strategy just became even more powerful.If you own or plan to buy a rental, multifamily, or commercial property this year, this could be your fastest way to boost cash flow — without raising rent or cutting expenses.What Cost Segregation Actually IsNormally, when you buy a property, the IRS makes you depreciate it over:27.5 years (residential) or 39 years (commercial).That’s a long wait.But a cost segregation study breaks your property into smaller parts — flooring, cabinets, lighting, HVAC units, parking lots, landscaping, etc. — and reclassifies them as shorter-lived assets (5, 7, or 15 years).Then, thanks to the 2025 tax law, anything purchased after January 19, 2025 that falls into those categories can qualify for 100% bonus depreciation.Meaning: you can write off the cost immediately. 

At the same time, materials and labor costs remain elevated, and supply chain issues (tariffs, etc.) could further squeeze rehab timelines and budgets. 

I get that you’ll need a cost seg study for the exact breakdown, but has anyone done this recently?

As others have mentioned, structuring the LLC correctly, tracking your hours for material participation, and keeping clear agreements on responsibilities, rent, and exit strategies is key.
