Investors & landlords

Carl,

 

Thank you for your time and thorough explanation! I really appreciate it (specially relating to the home insurance)

This is the actual scenario:

Bought the property in 2006 for $600K. Towards third quarter 2019 had a balance of $480K, I refinanced a new mortgage inclusive of his profit share and closing costs bringing me back to $620K (current mortgage)

 

My land is 5000 sq feet and both units add to 3600 sg feet = 72% (I though I had to exclude the part of land right?) to depreciate. Therefore, are we saying I can depreciate half of the 72% on the original $480K or on the $620K over the 27.5 years?
