@Maria G. office equipment is depreciated over 5 years, but the computer should qualify for bonus depreciation allowing you to take 100%.

If you can itemize the 25k into let's say appliances and such, you can take 100% bonus depreciation on the appliance and such. 

Network with Wholesalers and more agents. offer the agents a bonus of a few thousand dollars if they find you a deal.

We also wanted to be able to take advantage of the 'bonus depreciation' -- and while reading through the IRS regulations on this, for real estate, it looks like 'placing in in service' has a varying definition. 

Lofts, dining rooms, and bonus rooms can all be converted into bedrooms.

Linky link.Snip 1, more or less as expected, no reference to any first time homebuyer or "does not own other real estate" requirements:Snip 2, with an Unexpected Holiday Bonus relevant to high cost of living areas like NYC, the San Francisco Bay Area, LA, San Diego, DC/NoVa, etc."

Originally posted by David Niles:Low end paint is garbage, its watery, doesnt cover well and isnt washable $8 a gallon american finest flat. put a generous coat .. and u done. 2 coats if u need ...never had a problem ...best deal ever

1$ per sq ft in this neighborhood would be very generous - which would be $1150. 110K for a 180-200K house sounds like a hell of a deal but it is still waaay off from meeting the 2% rule.

I am specifically looking to see if:1- There is ANYONE in Texas that offers similar "1 stop" services for business structure planning and implementation, asset planning, tax planning, advise and preparation as they do.or 2- Anyone within this community, IN TEXAS, has built a team of attorneys and CPAs they have grown to trust through experience, (Bonus points for successful tenant lawsuit outcomes and Tax audits) (Not that I wish either on ANYONE, but that's what all of this community collaboration is working to avoid, isn't it?)

Sure do your list, but make that a temporary way of lead generation (or a bonus one) till your WEBSITE is ranking!!
