But you should encourage him while he's mind and body able to consolidate and release the less likely property as soon as he can,, he's paying property taxes, insurance, utilities and some upkeep to maintain a empty house,, that is lost money.. get aggressive and maybe do a contract for deed or lease option to buy.. or if it's smart to keep it get it rented out. 

Since the co-op investor doesn’t own the property or land beneath, can he depreciate the entire purchase price without subtracting a land value?

these books are great for education on 401ks & IRAs.From what I have learnt I personally wont invest in them, because I dont have any control over them & they are subject to change.I want to be able to control my future with my money & get the best return on investment I can....With 401k it sets u up to be poor & reliant on the government.If u havent read these books u can actualy get a hold of the ebooks for free, I highly recommend them, they got me started on my journey & narrowed down my goals to keep it simple.All the best to you are ur wife on ur journey Ben, You have so much ahead of you, I only wish I knew at ur age what I know now, knowledge is power so all power to u Ben!
