What method is best used to separate the cost of the house from the land for tax purposes?

I hope you all will communicate with open arms as I start my own journey into real estate investing.Though investing in real estate is new.

I believe most of the books in the library have been somewhat vetted or they wouldn't have purchased them for agents.I also know that there are investor oriented materials as I know many Realtors that have spoken about so and so's method or system and a few Realtors attempt to incorporate investor tactics into thier business.I was hoping some of the established investors here would provide some suggestion, not only as to a book but what to dig for, what interests you or the majority.

Your methods are correct, when partners split through court actions the valuations are often done by averaging two appraisals from each party.
