Jane Dang New fence replacement on rental property is deductible or depreciation
11 September 2024 | 18 replies
This allows you to deduct the full cost in the year it was placed in service.Fences are not eligible for the Section 179 deduction as they are considered land improvements.Given this information, you have two main options: 1) Take advantage of bonus depreciation (if eligible) and deduct the full $4,200 in the year the fence was installed.2) Depreciate the fence over 15 years using the appropriate depreciation method (likely GDS).To ensure you're making the best choice for your specific situation, I recommend consulting with a tax professional who can review all aspects of your rental property finances and advise you on the most beneficial approach.Please feel free to reach out if I can be of any help.Best,Jackson

If you ever plan on doing this later in your days, you could always do a management company and just expand on that, but I can tell you from my own perspective  that LLC – S and being W2 employee under that may limit some of your lending aspects, but it protects you around the world anywhere you go further if it comes to it, you can bankrupt your company, sell the assets and open another company the same way and you’re still protected through and through. as my wife is a high earner, it really protects her from civil suits and other things like that or anybody that ever comes to maliciously take what is yours.
