    Real estate property is depreciated over 27.5 years and Mid month. So depending on how you made the adjustment, id how the depreciation would change.

    Divide the basis (cost of building without the land) by 27.5, there's your yearly depreciation. Now divide that by 12, that's the monthly depreciation.
