The savings accounts, CDs, and bonds -- anything that can't appreciate with the dollar -- of American workers and retirees will be next to worthless.Third way:The US issues debt to pay for UBI. 

German, and other countries bonds are very bad!

But in reality, if you've kept it up, it is still worth at least $100,000 and probably a lot more.The kick in the teeth comes when you sell it and have to pay depreciation recapture or do a 1031 exchange, but that's out of the scope of this discussion.Bottom line: yes, you can use excess (unused) deprecation from Property A to offset the tax liability of profits from Property B, or a flip, or W2 income from another source.

The purpose of thinset mortar is to support tile, not just to bond it tightly to a substrate.EDITED by ModeratorI've laid (and had laid) 10s of thousands of SF of tile and stone over the decades, think I'm ok with the basics, and even the advanced techniques like this....a) clear silicone is a recommended tile adhesive - depending on the situation... see ANSI specs.

Allow me to put the money I'd pay for the property into gov't bonds paying roughly what the lease payment would cost, and 3. would give them ~$320K in total lease payments including the offset of capital gains, while it would be equivalent to me purchasing it for cash today at $225K.I know there is an income tax liability on the seller's part for the lease payments, but I don't know their situation to judge the impact of that.I've never done a transaction like this before, so please poke holes in it, or if you have a better option, please let me know.
