Key insights

  • For tax purposes, the land value of a property is not depreciable; only the structure and its components can be depreciated. Therefore, properties with lower land-to-structure value ratios are often more tax-advantageous.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Investing in a short-term rental solely for tax write-offs without considering the property's cash flow and overall investment viability can lead to owning a 'dog' property that loses money long-term.
