The land represents ~1% of the purchaseOn the contrary - if you purchase a $2 MM shack in manhattan on a postage stamp lot, the land could represent 99%Lever 2 - % of the property with a shorter useful life.Not all parts of a piece of real estate are depreciated at the same speed.Certain personal property assets have SHORTER lifespans in the eyes of the IRS vs the standard 27.5/39 year livesProperties with tons of this often have:- Over-developed land sites (hardscaping, pools, retaining walls)- Fancy Fixtures- Fancy Furniture (STRs!)
