It is standard practice and component level depreciation is encouraged by the IRS.Though it is very important to track you time as you go along.

If all those infrastructure components are new then I would be more inclined to look at a renovated home that is very old.

The percentage you get back in a cost seg depends on the mix of components in the property — some buildings just have more personal property and land improvements than others.

Having this guy and his 1099 workers with no workers comp on your property was high risk. 

I've found it better the avoid working with groups that have a strong retail component.

Augustine where there's a strong tourism component and specific zoning laws for vacation rentals.It's crucial to carefully research into specific neighborhoods, market trends, and potential risks, particularly related to property taxes and insurance, is recommended.

It will definitely be different in Davie, but a lot of the components are the same.

If you are an investor who is looking for a secure, cash-flowing asset with a clear growth component, I'd be happy to connect.Thank you,Patrick

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 (100% now in 2025) 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 2024 it went down to 60%.

The most critical component is going to be making sure you have strong rental income and ideally have a 1 DSCR ratio (rent fully covering the mortgage payment +HOA)
