Hi all
I have seen previous posts regarding the method of assessing new unit developments whereby the land value is input into the property price and the building cost is input into the renovation area to provide a total 'cost', however, my question is this....when inputting the relevant depreciation values into the program what values do you actually use?
The reason I ask is that if a property has a sale price of say $265K, being made up of $55K land and $210K units complete (turfing, gardens, driveways, carpets, curtains etc etc) then for depreciation purposes only the building can be depreciated which is worth say $170K. This leaves (265-55-170) $40K for all of the turfing, carpets etc.
When I try to change the building depreciation amount in the non-cash deductions area to say $170K it automatically changes the loan amount which throws everything out of whack.
