The one caveat we haven't talked about, if you're a doctor— and you do real estate part-time, very part-time, does that change how you're able to take bonus depreciation?

Depending on how you're doing it and what you're doing, what properties you're buying.
16:23
Okay.
16:23
Okay.
16:24
So let's say you've got a doctor, whether it's a dentist, an MD, a chiropractor, whomever it might be.
16:32
I'm going to give kind of two scenarios here and I may pivot to three as I'm walking through this.
16:36
But if your doctor person is buying investment property, like the single families and they're renting them out, then that's called a a passive income stream okay that doctor is not an active real estate professional so that means that doctor is getting the income from the property as what they call passive income cost seg creates a passive loss so the passive loss for that person that doctor will only work um to offset passive income that's right okay so it won't flow over to his w-2 or 1099 yep okay so But that was him buying, let's say, a single family long term rental, an apartment, a residential rental, as opposed to him buying a short term rental.
18:40
Does he get any ability to put the tax write-off towards his doctor income at all based around the performance of that cost seg study being out to outweigh the income monthly is there any way that he can because the price of the home changes how much the cost seg study does that make sense yeah yeah
