If the rented portion is the same size as your personal living space, you can take half of the value on the depreciation schedule ($150,000).

Notes range from shopping centers to hotels to office space.

I also really like your idea about reading books on past crises to prepare.I'm going to create a topic entitled "What Are You Reading to Prepare for the Worst' and hope you will contribute some titles.Thanks - Mark

Can you get it rezoned for mixed use in the same space so that it would be convertable back to commercial for future sales??

I wear a mask if I'm going to be causing any paint dust, but I certainly don't wear a space suit or anything equally silly.

Our strip malls are loosing the anchor stores and all the small spaces are vacant and have been for some time now.

Why do the newer investors choose apartments when like i say, the headache just seems higher then on a retail or office space.
