Understanding CRE Depreciation

The tax shield that makes CRE one of the most tax-efficient investments.

How It Works

The IRS lets you deduct building cost over 39 years (commercial) or 27.5 years (residential rental). This paper loss offsets income, reducing taxes even while the property appreciates. Land is never depreciable.

Cost Segregation

A cost segregation study reclassifies components into 5, 7, or 15-year categories. This front-loads deductions and can save tens of thousands in early-year taxes. Especially powerful with bonus depreciation.

Depreciation Recapture

At sale, cumulative depreciation is recaptured at 25% federal rate. $300K depreciation = up to $75K recapture tax. Can be deferred with a 1031 exchange.

Phantom Income Shield

Depreciation creates tax losses even with positive cash flow. $80K cash flow minus $40K depreciation = only $40K taxable. This deferral is one of CRE's most powerful wealth-building tools.

Why borrowers switch to us

Five things your last lender should have done.

Borrowers don't come to us because lending is complicated. They come because someone else made it harder than it needed to be.

  1. 1
    48 hours to clarity. You'll know exactly where you stand — not wonder for months.
  2. 2
    Every dollar in writing. The rate and fees you see on day one are the ones you sign at closing.
  3. 3
    One advisor, start to finish. No handoffs. No vanishing acts. One person who knows your deal.
  4. 4
    Full checklist, first call. Every document listed upfront. No mid-process surprises.
  5. 5
    We earn when you close. No upfront fees. Our only incentive is your funded deal.
“I’ve spent over a decade watching good borrowers lose money to a broken process. BestLoanUSA exists so that stops happening.”
