Investors & landlords

From bizfluent:

 

"When accounting for a land and building purchase, a good rule of thumb to use is the 20/80 rule. The building is the major asset, representing approximately 80% of the purchase price. The land is the minor asset, representing approximately 20% of the purchase price."

 

Other sources have suggested this percentage.

 

Use your judgment. If the land size is small in comparison to the structure, you may want to use 15%.
