Matt W. Help me understand depreciation recapture!
12 June 2024 | 8 replies
As you mentioned, you can depreciate the improvement value over 27.5 years for residential property.So, to calculate the depreciation recapture after 5 years, you can use the following formula:Depreciation Recapture = (Original Improvement Value / Useful Life) x Accumulated Depreciation x Time HeldIn your example, it would be:Depreciation Recapture = ($200,000 / 27.5) x (5 years) = $36,364.36So, after 5 years, your accumulated depreciation is approximately $36,364.36.Now, when you sell the house for $400,000, the profit you'll have to consider for tax purposes would be:Profit = Selling Price - Adjusted BasisThe adjusted basis is the original purchase price minus the accumulated depreciation.

Tyler Gilpin Lending on multiple properties at once

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).
