Depletion is much like depreciation but it is not the same.Everything you listed are improvements to land, including the wire running under the paved parking lot to the light poles.Land is the dirt, it is never under any circumstance depreciated.What is mentioned above is the lease being subject of depreciation, not the dirt.There is only depreciation or depletion under tax code, it is the nature of the tax beast, it is an economical concept as to devaluing an asset arising from it's use which may or may not be a financial limitation or reduction, but done to illustrate the lesser of utility of improvements.:)

The costs of the raising is not going to be any cheaper, but the payback period is much shorter and you get out of paying flood insurance and still have a viable property to sell, when the time comes.Throw in the devaluation of the property, at 10% cap rate a $12,000 increase in flood premiums lowers the value of the property by $120,000.

I meant no offense, and definitely was not meaning to devalue the site... just observing some graphical similarities. 

Here are the specs:3bd/2ba 1792 sq ft.2013 Tax value - $116,3002012 Tax value - $132,000 (we had a big devaluation in TV county-wide between 2012-2013 that has not really affected market values)She says she owes around $95,000, and I'm guessing ARV is around $125,000-$130,000I realize there's not much equity, but currently looking for buy-and-hold properties.

Majority of the time the overage is put in place to offset the discount that maybe forth coming but all it does is increase the delivered discount making the whole thing relative pointless except as to devalue what might have been a decent asset otherwise.

Devaluation of currency is also known as inflation.

You won't find any  restriction to  title to real property that it must be sold only to a class or group of buyers only using cash, that would devalue the property limiting its market, such a restriction would be easy to overturn IMO.

It appeasers we may be heading into a world currency devaluation with the result being the dollar strengthening.

As a general rule, I and many other REO agents don't advertise our listings as REO, bank owned, foreclosure or anything else that could potentially devalue our client's property.

you buy a property for $50,000 keep it 20 years and sell for $200,000, but to replace it with an identical house you have to spend the entire $200,000, what have you gained.Capital gains taxes to some degree as now structured is a tax on inflation which the investor had no control over, and a devaluation of the dollar purchasing power due to inflation..
