I received a boxed dinner (turkey sandwich), a 212-page softcover book "Flipping Your Way to Real Estate Profits" by Scott and Amie Yancey, and two free audio CDs: "Flipping Your Way to Real Estate Profits" and a "Bonus Disk" : with two sections: (i) 2 Crazy Secrets and (ii) Scott and Amie Yancey-Commonly Asked Questions & Answers."

Is this affected by taking bonus depreciation?
