The DSCR loan payment is ~$4k, and the property generates ~$6k per month.

That opened the door to a deeper passion for real estate investing and building generational wealth—not just for myself, but for others too.📈 I’m here on BiggerPockets to connect with investors, builders, and anyone looking to buy land, build a portfolio, or partner on creative projects—especially in the Carolinas.

Ideally, the fund would generate a large non-cash loss the first year due to depreciation paired with an 8%+ preferred return. 

Since the improvements (home and shed) are valued at $150,000, you could start depreciating them now, generating deductions that offset income—especially useful in a high-tax year.Here’s how it typically works:If you place the property in service (e.g., rent it out, use it temporarily), you can begin depreciation on the structure.Later, when you demolish the buildings, you would write off the remaining undepreciated basis as a loss—but only if the property was used in a business or income-producing activity before demo.If you demo right away without placing it in service, you lose depreciation benefits and must capitalize the demolition costs into the basis of the new development.So, waiting until 2026 to demolish may allow you to claim depreciation in 2025 and potentially deduct the remaining basis upon demo.
