It may not be here tomorrow, and taxes won't matter then.That said, if you're trying to estimate your future tax benefits, keep in mind these things:- depreciation is only applicable to rentals- depreciation starts when you place the property "in service," not when you buy it- depreciation increases your deductions and consequently your tax losses, but you may or may not be able to benefit from these losses, depending on your overall tax situation- if you do have room for additional depreciation, you may be able to amplify it with cost segregation (a separate topic)
