Quote from @Ian Hutton: Hey everyone, My question is what are the key components you look for when doing market research?

I've found this mortgage calculator breaks down all the components really clearly: https://ultra-calculator.com/calculator/mortgage-payment.

You can take bonus depreciation on any property that has assets that qualify.So to answer your question, yes, you can take bonus depreciation on components of a house that is used as a MTR.However, what you may want to determine from a conversation with an accountant is whether the activity will be treated as active or passive.The next question would be, even if you can do a cost segregation study, would the added depreciation from bonus depreciation be beneficial.

So, here’s the answerYou Start at the beginning and ask what your goal is.Real estate only consists of a few components. 1.

Those averages are helpful for context, but at the deal level, the other components I mentioned are what really drive the outcome.

Analysis Paralysis is tough, but remember the third, and one of the most important, components of investing is TIME - the early you get started, the early you'll see your returns compound.

For larger properties, some of our clients run another cost segregation study at the time of sale.2) Partial Dispositions - Taxpayers can carve out and dispose of components removed or demolished from a building.

I’m also an investor myself so I know the ins and outs from both sides of the table.Since I know intros are more useful when they actually help, here are 3 tax deductions I see real estate investors miss all the time:Home office deduction – If you manage your rentals from home, part of your housing costs may be deductible.Start-up costs – Expenses you had before your property was even “in service” (like inspections, travel, legal fees) can often be written off.Cost segregation + bonus depreciation – Breaking out components of a property (appliances, flooring, furniture) lets you accelerate write-offs, often front-loading tens of thousands in deductions.I joined BiggerPockets to connect, keep learning, and share insights like this.

Feels like it is important to have the experience and know how to allocate the different building components $ value between things like concrete, landscaping, etc.

Since tenants were living there under a valid lease, it may be possible to treat that period as rental use.Depreciation and cost segregation: A cost segregation study could apply to the property for the rental portion, allowing accelerated depreciation on eligible components.
