    HI Everyone,

    Only if the property comes with a furniture package or similar.

    Basic fixtures & fittings do not normally effect the valuation.

    Of course with the odd exception. If you are going to buy a property with solid gold taps they can depreciated however the property value may not be increased to allow for this.

    I believe it should because i'm baised!

    BUT in reality the depreciation on a property is more GUARANTEED then your rental income.

    I guess banks look at the fact you need a job 1st though for the depreciation benefits to kick in.

    Sigh

    On an unit price of $400,000 what would an expectation be for depreciation benefit p.a.   How do they break down land component vs building vs fixtures etc
