This is important because the depreciation is over 27.5 years so we need to be able to specify when it starts (or ends) to get accurate projections.

As Shawn suggested I’m using current value for depreciation in actual value and will need to manually update until I get to year 27. The feature will remove the need for periodic manual intervention.

I like this - means I wouldn’t need the tax-exempt income item I’m using now for depreciation.

This is critical to model rental properties correctly.

Important! That is one of the dominating parameters in a tax strategy. In the German tax system for one, depreciation is legally deemed a linear 2% = years, but there are special depreciation regimes (3%=33 years linear for new buildings, progressive depreciation…). I you prove a shorter rest usage time of the bulding, you can use that, say 25 years = 4%. The depreciation base congruently not the purchase price, but only the building portion. One property can have multiple “depreciation chains”, differing in starting date, depreciation base and depreciation rate. E.g., major investments can have trigger a new “depreciation chain”. So…

… my practical suggestion would be to either make a menu for depreciation under the property tab OR make inbuilt depreciation desectable and model depreciation as a “Tax Reduction” under “Income”. Being a newbie here, I might not have understood the existing possibilietes, though

To be even more accurate tabs for capital improvements (that add value to the $$ that are the basis for the depreciation and also have a depreciation life of their own)
