Depreciation: The Hidden Hero of Real Estate Investing

Depreciation allows investors to deduct the cost of buildings over time — even while the property appreciates.

Key Points:

• 27.5 years for residential, 39 years for commercial.

• Land value is excluded.

• Non-cash deduction that shields cash flow.

💡 Key Takeaway: Depreciation is the silent partner in your profit. Use it to turn taxable income into tax-deferred equity.
