What This Means for You

Property

A $750K fourplex is a common holding for investors scaling from duplexes in markets like Phoenix, Las Vegas, or Columbus. Four units means four complete kitchens, four bathrooms, and four sets of flooring and fixtures.

The 15-year category is also substantial for fourplexes: larger parking areas, more extensive walkways, additional utility connections, exterior lighting for four entry points, shared landscaping, and potentially laundry equipment.

At the 37% bracket, $114,000 in accelerated deductions generates $73,260 in year-one tax savings. The study costs $995 (the MF 2-4 unit tier), delivering a 42x return.
