AB did not make the election under § 1.168(i)-6(i)(1).(2) For 2016, AB is allowed a 50-percent additional first year depreciation deduction of $5,000 for Computer Building X2 (unadjusted basis of $10,000 multiplied by 0.50), and a regular MACRS depreciation deduction of $1,000 for Computer Building X2 (the remaining adjusted depreciable basis of $5,000 multiplied by the annual depreciation rate of 0.20 for recovery year 1).(3) For 2017, AB is allowed a regular MACRS depreciation deduction of $800 for Computer Building X2 (the remaining adjusted depreciable basis of $5,000 multiplied by the annual depreciation rate of 0.32 for recovery year 2 × 1/2 year).(4) Pursuant to paragraph (g)(5)(iii)(A) of this section, the 100-percent additional first year depreciation deduction for Computer Building Y2 for 2017 is allowable for the remaining exchanged basis at the time of replacement of $3,200 (Computer Building X2's unadjusted depreciable basis of $10,000 minus additional first year depreciation deduction allowable of $5,000 minus the 2016 regular MACRS depreciation deduction of $1,000 minus the 2017 regular MACRS depreciation deduction of $800) and for the remaining excess basis at the time of replacement of $1,000 (cash paid for Computer Building Y2).

And appreciation pacing a multiplier as high as 10X of historical norms, again, does not hold any longevity of such. 

There’s been a lot of debate on what markup you need to keep your payouts whole.If you want to offset the entire 15.5% fee, the correct markup is 18.34%.That’s because you’re covering the full fee from scratch.But here’s the key: most hosts (myself included) were already absorbing the old 3% fee as an acquisition cost.In that case, you don’t need to markup that part again — you only need to offset the extra 12.5%.Example:Old rate = $100Airbnb takes 12.5% → you’d only get $87.50To get back to $100: $100 ÷ 0.875 = $114.29That’s a 14.29% markup (multiply rates by 1.1429).So which is correct?

The assessor site doesn’t let you run “what if” scenarios.Right now I’ve been taking the current assessed value, bumping it up ~12% (since that’s the average increase across Indiana this past year), and then multiplying by 2% to get a tax estimate.Do you all think that’s a solid way to underwrite?

I personally don't change my bids for a 750k property or a 120k property (as in, I don't use a different multiplier).

It is entirely dependent on the variables above for each and every monthThe amount of interest paid in each payment is: the interest rate of the loan multiplied by the outstanding balance at the beginning of the period, and then divided by 12.

With stocks, you’re getting a nice steady return, but you’re not really leveraging that money to grow exponentially.Now, if you jump into something like a BRRRR strategy in real estate, you can use that same money, leverage it, and potentially see your returns multiply a lot faster.

This is your cash flow multiplier.

Next big but is, when acquire a property their empowered to multiply the income potential of their investment capital far more than in a syndication, as the leverage potentials are far greater.   

For income and credit score, the main thing to keep in mind is that the tenant’s rent portion is based on their income and the voucher covers the rest, so you don’t really need to use a traditional income multiplier like “3x the rent” the way you would with market tenants.
