I've decided to ignore depreciation unless it's a large expense we did this year and account for it in that year only, and potentially try to adjust it a little if it is adding value to the property.I do understand the simplicity aspect of it though, that's for sure.

For example, I am a little concerned about some aspects of the business cycle recovery and a potential for a double-dip so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or low-debt equity).
