Depreciation of a Rehab - No depreciation on added value?
I was doing my 2019 taxes, and my accountant says that the added value of my condo investment cannot be depreciated. Say What? I bought November 2018 for $215k and rehabbed. Been renting very well for short term occupancy, including Airbnb. Finally refinanced this year and appraisal came out at $385k. My accountant said that the added value to my asset cannot be depreciated, only the 27.5 year depreciation to the original cost of $215k allowed? I need a second opinion but this must be an easy answer for seasoned investors.
