I specifically excluded *bonus* from that prior post for that very reason of ineligibility, however, if the cost seg carves out 20% of the basis as 5-year, 20% as 7-yr, 20% as 15-year and the remainder as 39 year (assuming commercial), that’d still front one heck of a depreciation deduction using MACRS 200% DDB.Will still be some net gain, but that would dramatically dramatically reduce the cash he’d have to fork out to uncle sam… PLUS … he’d have new depreciation again!

Depending on how much you make for your W2 income, those losses are deductible, phased out, and not allowed at all.

@David NinoThe most important thing it to confirm that the tax return is correct and properly filed with you taking advantage of deductions/credits available to real estate investors.I don't have information on how many state tax returns you are filing and how many properties hold those 23 doors(1 apartment complex vs 23 sfh's), I would have to say that is one really competitive price.

After that you’ve lost the 100% deduction forever, even if you move back in. 

FYI, insurance make consider each unit a separate claim with its own deductible.

After that amount, you cannot deduct any more interest.

I completely get why condo associations need to levy special assessments and increase monthly fees, and specifically in this case to comply with the recently passed laws in Florida.My objection is to buying these FL condos as possible rental properties.Buying condos for investment is already a risky proposition.

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

Hence any "deduction" in massive air quotes is not available.
