Section 01

Executive summary

This study reclassifies a portion of the property's depreciable basis from 39-year nonresidential into shorter recovery periods, accelerating deductions into year one under current bonus depreciation rules.

Without cost seg

Section 02

How the asset depreciates

The 2024 deduction combines the remodel with the property's reclassified basis. On the remodel, the removed components are written off and the new build is depreciated.

Disposition write-off

$268,846

Remaining tax basis of the components removed in the remodel, deducted in full in 2024 as a partial asset disposition (Treas. Reg. §1.168(i)-8).

Bonus depreciation

$299,049

60% first-year bonus on the property reclassified to 5- and 15-year recovery.

First-year MACRS depreciation

$26,835

Regular first-year depreciation on the remaining basis, including the 39-year shell (mid-month, partial year).

Component allocation

Every dollar of the $953,211 allocated basis is walked through the property the way you would tour it: by building, then floor, then room. Open a room for its building systems (walls, flooring, plumbing, electrical) and open a system for every component and how it was priced. Systems that serve the whole building sit under Building systems, and land improvements under the site.

Room areas here are Geospatially Engineered™ from this property’s own records and floor plan.

InspectorPhoto derivation and spatial geometric map

The property-intelligence layer. Its Photo Facts read the property's own photos and public records to verify every room and asset against the study's evidence, and its House Equation reconstructs the home in space, placing each element's vertices in a 3D frame and computing its volume and true surface area from polyhedra and prisms. Every observation resolves through Unlevered's canonical component system and feeds the measurement equations behind the study.
