Depreciation and Syndication
I am deciding about starting to invest in syndications, does anyone have resources that discuss the depreciation benefits? My primary goal in investing in real estate is to lower my taxes.

My non-tax professional opinion is that you need to discuss with a CPA familiar with your situation and knowledgeable in real estate. Many syndications will pass depreciation to investors, but to understand what it does for you you need specific input from the relevant pros.
