Depreciable personal property includes amortizable section 197 intangibles (described in chapter 2 under Other Dispositions). 

At the same time, by the time the market increases in price I will be paying 1K per month towards the mortgage to cover what the rent wont cover, so its 12K per year of loss (if I get a good tenants and nothing breaks), then who knows even if the market does go up...

Cheers to you mate and thanks for taking the time to reply.Agreed.You are a conglomerate company and maybe you have more protection as the quarterback (Sales staff, assistants, etc...)Not saying that you aren't in the front lines and I know of the hits you have taken and still do to this day.Even after all these years, these "hit's" don't hurt me any less mate.Much respect for you and your achievements 🙏 Diplomacy left me a long time ago so I do my best to keep shut otherwise all hell would break loose and I become like this guy @James Wise hahaLove you James 😘Keep being great Chris

We self manage our condos and live over 10 hours away, so putting together this off-market deal to include the furniture, furnishings, a tenant, and a current listing, made it possible to go live without needing to travel.
