The rest are in a discovery period trying to see what they want to do.With 500k down it is tough to get into quality commercial R.E. for hands off triple net.

Then each year you can take 1/27.5 of the value of the house (not land) as a deduction.The implication with depreciation is the item being depreciated "wears out" over that period.

Now, if you mean T&I, taxes and insurance, they are amortized over the lease period on a per-diem basis, just as your interest expense is, vacant periods are on you. :) 

Under ideal circumstances they will undoubtedly be a big improvement over last-minute changes to a HUD-1 and to mortgage documents at the closing table.But there’s a catch – when certain changes to closing documents become necessary after August 1, 2015 another 3-day waiting period kicks-in.Closings that drag on for several hours are one thing, but closings delayed by 3 days, and possibly another 3 days, and yet another 3 days… that’s another thing entirely.Delayed closings invariably lead to more calculation and documentation changes, which lead to more delayed closings, etc.To understand how the new law changes the buying and selling of real estate all over America, take a look at the new disclosure forms.
