Since you are only working with one year of depreciation, you are correct, it should pretty much be a "wash."  Your rental income will be reduced by the depreciation and your gain on the sale increased by the depreciation.  If the depreciation wasn't a factor at all you would be in the same place, no reduction in income and no gain on the sale.
