You are the perfect example to illustrate this case.

This was just good business as it illustrated integrity which only solidified future business.

You just illustrated the biggest reason why I don't do that anymore.  

To illustrate the time value of money in relation to accelerated depreciation in real estate, let's consider a building that has a total cost of $1,000,000.

To illustrate why this is better for value add (aka forced appreciation), lets say you work to fix up your property and as result you increase rents and increase NOI by $10,000/yr.

Since you are considered the end user of this project depending on how the verbiage is illustrated, all responsibilities should be the GC's, I would highly recommend researching and using the workflow of the PMP mythology.

Please know that I oversimplified the following example to illustrate the difference between cash flow and appreciation; my assumptions are not real world.My assumptions:Property A appreciates at 7% annually but has zero cash flow.Property B has a 7% cash/cash return but zero appreciation.The combined state and federal income tax rate is 30%.Purchase price: $400,000.Down: 25%Acquisition cost: $100,000 (25% X $400,000)No inflationNo rent increasesNo loan costsNo closing costsNo renovation costsNo vacanciesNo maintenance costNo management expensesNo principal paydownAs you can see, if you buy in a high-appreciation market, you will have far more investable cash than cash flow.

So I took the map and opened it in Adobe Illustrator (I believe they have a free trial version for 30 days). 

This is what these policies are illustrating and what is most likely. 

Fresh out of another such conflict, I want to illustrate how it works.The easiest way to do so is with an example.20,000 miles driven during the year15,000 of those miles (75%) was for business$10,000 annual expenses for gas, insurance, maintenance etc.PART 1 - TAX DEDUCTIONIf you use the standard IRS mileage allowance of 58 cents/mile (2019), you have a $8,700 deduction, and your Schedule C looks like this:If you use the actual expenses method, you claim 75% of the $10,000 operating expenses, or $7,500 plus 75% of the depreciation.
