How the New 2025 Depreciation Rules Make Owning a Grand County Rental Even Smarter There’s a lot of buzz right now about the new tax law — the One Big Beautiful Bill — and for good reason. Starting in 2025, investors can take advantage of 100% bonus depreciation on certain components of new rental properties placed into service after January 19, 2025. What does that mean in plain English? If you buy an investment property and rent it out, you may be able to write off a large portion of your purchase cost up front rather than waiting 27½ years to depreciate it all. This new rule can dramatically improve your cash flow in those first few years of ownership — and that’s a game-changer for anyone buying a property in Grand County. ________________________________________ 💡 Here’s How It Works Under the new law, items with a useful life of 20 years or less — such as appliances, furnishings, flooring, fencing, landscaping, lighting, and HVAC systems — may qualify for immediate deduction through bonus depreciation. That means if you purchase a property and place it in service as a rental in late 2025, you could deduct the full value of many of those assets in your first year. The building itself will still depreciate over 27.5 years, but this accelerated benefit allows you to offset a significant portion of your rental income early on. For example, a $600,000 duplex purchased this fall could potentially unlock $80,000–$100,000 in accelerated deductions — depending on the breakdown of personal property and improvements. That’s money back in your pocket sooner, and for many, it’s the difference between a property that just covers costs and one that generates real return. ________________________________________ 🏠 Why Snow Capped Is Your Advantage Here’s where Snow Capped Properties stands apart. We’re not just a property manager — we’re your full-service investment partner.

🏠 Homeowner Alert: Scams Are on the Rise — Here’s What to Watch For At Snow Capped Properties, we pride ourselves on protecting our homeowners and their investments. Unfortunately, scams targeting property owners are becoming more sophisticated and frequent — especially in smaller communities where trust and familiarity are the norm. Just this month, we encountered a new type of scam attempt that could have easily fooled even the most careful homeowner. 🚨 Real Example: The “Utility Shut-Off” Scam A neighbor recently received what looked like a gas shut-off notice — complete with official logos and dates — and passed it along to the actual homeowner. Because it came from a trusted neighbor, the message felt legitimate. The homeowner, naturally wanting to resolve the issue quickly, was ready to initiate payment through the link provided. Fortunately, our team was looped in just in time and spotted multiple red flags: - The sender’s email domain didn’t match the actual utility company. - The link redirected to an unofficial payment portal. - The notice referenced an incorrect account number. Thanks to quick communication, no money was lost — but it was a close call. 🧠 Common Homeowner Scam Examples - Fake Utility or Service Notices Scammers impersonate power, water, gas, or internet providers, claiming service will be disconnected unless immediate payment is made. - Property Tax or HOA Impersonation Fraudsters pose as county tax offices or HOA management, demanding “urgent” back payments or fees — often with convincing logos and letterheads. - Rental Listing Scams Scammers copy photos and details from legitimate listings (sometimes your own property) and repost them online with fake contact info, asking for deposits from unsuspecting renters. - Home Repair or Maintenance Cons Someone shows up offering immediate repair or maintenance services, often asking for large upfront payments or access to the property without verification. - Wire Transfer or Payment Diversion Schemes Common in real estate transactions — criminals intercept email threads between agents, property managers, or homeowners, and send “updated” wiring instructions. 🧩 How to Protect Yourself - Pause before paying: Always verify any payment request directly through a verified number or website. - Confirm sources: If a message comes through a neighbor, friend, or even Snow Capped, confirm it through official channels before acting. - Watch for urgency: Scammers often use high-pressure language (“immediate disconnection,” “final notice,” “act now”) to trigger quick responses. - Check the details: Look for misspellings, wrong addresses, and fake domains. Loop in your property manager: If something feels off, contact Snow Capped Properties first. We’re here to help verify any notices or requests related to your property. 🏔️ Our Commitment At Snow Capped Properties, we take scam prevention seriously. Our local presence means we’re often the first line of defense in catching these red flags before they cost our homeowners time or money. If you ever receive a suspicious notice, email, or call related to your property, please contact us directly before taking any action. 📞 Stay Safe, Stay Local
