Surprising to me more YIMBYs are not fans of accelerated depreciation! With zoning reform happening in more places, but interest rates remaining high - this is a key way to get building to happen

Yes, ERTA (1981) accelerated real estate depreciation schedules. It was rescinded in 1986. More than two million apartment homes were started over the brief period.

While on the whole it’s a dumpster fire, I did catch that the OBBB narrowly expands accelerated depreciation: Any tangible operating equipment with a <20 yr life used in residential rental properties do qualify for the 100% bonus depreciation under 168(k) as amended by the OBBB.

What if I told you the way you structure your real estate deal could save you thousands in taxes? Creative deal structuring isn’t just for the pros. Understanding how to leverage 1031 exchanges, depreciation, or even seller financing can drastically change your bottom line.

Canada had an experiment with accelerated depreciation on multi unit residential housing in the late 1970s. Investors could write off the "losses" against other income. There was a huge boom in construction and rents fell.

There's more than one-way to skin a cat. If the goal is make housing more attainable for more people, we shouldn't get hyper focused on just one approach such as "ending Euclidian zoning".

Why pay more than you need to? A lot of real estate investors forget this one key fact: When a realtor is involved, sellers often raise their asking price to cover commission fees. That means you’re the one footing the bill. By cutting out the middleman, you can save tens of
