(In the IRS language, they tax you on depreciation "allowed or allowABLE").If you choose to not take depreciation, not only it's against the tax rules ("impermissible accounting method"), but you're shooting yourself in the foot.

You have to be careful and methodical.  

You may wish to confirm that the new 401k provider will handle the ongoing compliance support such as any required 5500 filing (e.g. 5500-ez for a one-participant plan with assets in excess of $250,000), any required tax reporting (e.g. 1099-r in the event of a distribution or in-plan Roth conversion), mandatory plan updates and amendments, etc.4.

That's the fastest (and least-accurate) method of seeing whether a property is a deal or not.

Now, you might already have NONE of the items that we face as investors if you have already owned these properties for a while and are not looking to do the BRRRRR method so maybe none of the questions below would apply to you but I wrote the questions below to help people work with good, investor friendly lenders.  

We have been using conventional mortgages so we will be looking for new funding methods soon.
