Yes, you can claim bonus depreciation on multiple qualifying properties placed in service in the same tax year.

The property is performing well at a low interest rate but has 288k of trapped equity.

interest paid.

You can get into a house at a lower down payment amount and with a lower interest rate than an investment loan.I would then look to invest in markets that provide both cash flow and appreciation.

Hi There @Shaun Beck - Highly recommend checking out the cashflow breakfast club with @Eudith Vacio!   

Personally I think it is downright stupid to buy at a cap rate below the interest rate.

If the house is built well and has multiple offers the price goes up and you pay more.A good agent knows all of this and can deftly manage the offer, transaction and can make sure you don't over pay for a building that's been sitting, or under bid by a $1000 and lose your dream home.The best agents are skilled at extracting more information from buyers than most so they can put just the right offer down to win the deal.  

Running into high interest rates since the per unit price is sub 75K. 

I also have a HELOC on two properties here in SD, and I opted for the highest loan amount not the lowest interest or lowest payment.

That’s not a landlord problem — that’s an economic and housing supply issue in a concentrated market.Why the High Numbers?
