Valeria Dulce Quick Question on Estimating Property Taxes in Indy
24 September 2025 | 2 replies
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?

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.

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).
Jacob Morgenstern Airbnb’s new 1  5.5% host-only fee — let’s get the math straight.

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?
