Real Estate Investing
“Can depreciation really save me money on my rentals?”
Depreciation is often a major tax factor for rental properties because it can reduce taxable income even when the property is generating cash flow. The real impact depends on the property type, how much of the purchase price is allocated to land versus building, and whether any improvements or repairs are being treated differently for tax purposes. It also matters how the rentals are held, since passive activity rules and overall income can affect how much of the deduction is useful in a given year. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
