Jason,

Each would require a separate set of depreciation calculations.

Actual real property improvements are always capitalized and

Hello,

I've got a question. If I buy a rental property that I keep
for say 10 years. The homes in my area are very old and need
updating. I usually spend about the 1st few months
renovating the house to be livable and then do a major
project once every year when the tenants move out. Say
renovate a bathroom one year. The kitchen the next, new
windows the next. ect. ect.

My question is am I required to depreciate each improvement
on it's own schedule? or can I just depreciate the property
on the starndard 27.5 yr and then just deduct the
improvements when I sell the house?

THanks

j
