Your down payment doesn't figure into this. Your cost basis in the property it 1.2M weather you put $1 down, or one million down. There is no "splitting the down payment". You split the cost basis with 25% allocated to the 25% of the space  that is exclusive to the renter. In your case, it's an entirely different structure that constitutes 25% of your cost 1.2M cost basis.
