1) If you add under type of asset as a J5 Qualified Replacement you have 15 year strait line.

2) So I guess capital improvement is the same as residential rental? since I do get the same result 27.5 year. Which happens to be the correct answer.

Unfortunately, in Florida a roof is only good for 12 years, since myself and all my neighbors need a new roof every 12-14 years or cancellation of property insurance.  So go figure trying to explain this to the Feds, when we have to recapture.
