In terms of mortgage loan qualification and DTI, if given choice between 179 and special bonus deprecation which is better?

Curious if in terms of mortgage loan qualification is the calculation of DTI the same if someone takes a 179 deduction vs special bonus deprecation? For example sole owner of an s corp buys $50k asset, the business income is $25k.  Taking as a 179 deduction I believe appears to show positive income on box 1 of $25k on the k1, and 179 deduction in box 11 of the k1 of $25k?  The s corp owners 1120s I believe still shows $25K of income?   Alternatively taking as special bonus deprecation, the business owners k1 now shows in box 1 a net loss of $25k, and there is nothing listed in box 11 since they did not take a 179 deduction. However the 1120s I believe would show on page 1 line 14, $50k of depreciation? 

The business owner needs to get a mortgage loan. Will underwriters add back the depreciation in either scenario?

You will have to ask the underwriters and/or lenders, but they should understand that depreciation (cost recovery deductions), in whatever form for tax purposes, is a phantom deduction.
