Hello My nama is Jules bByabagabo, live in the Maine state in brunswick areai'm new to real state investor and looking to connect with any local investor. thank you

If I am able to rent out the other units with a property manager and then house hack the other bedroom in the unit I'm in on my own as a STR/MTR, can I claim any or all bonus depreciation as I am the main one running that part of the "business" while my property manager handles the LTRs in the other units?

Much easier on new construction than an existing building as long as you have good receipts along the way for building components.

Every component of a house comes with a design life.

A cost segregation study basically separates your property into components that can be depreciated faster than the standard 27.5-year schedule.

Remember, cash flow is only one component of what makes a property profitable.

As a CPA, why would you not also recommend she divide up the component costs of the renovation(ie cost of cabinets, floors, etc) into separate depreciable components, getting 80-90% of the benefit of a renovation cost seg without the cost?

With $1.2M+ in properties and significant rehab, the depreciation benefit could be substantial - but so is the audit exposure if you get it wrong.The issue isn't that you'll be "no where as thorough" - it's that the IRS prefers engineering-based studies with detailed component breakdowns.

Look at the major components: roofs, siding, kitchens, baths, furnaces and ac units.

Yes,  they measured all components of properties and split them into different depreciation categories.
