A lot of real estate investors treat bonus depreciation like automatic free money.

Big deduction. Big refund. Done.

But it’s not always that simple.

Here’s the catch:
- Bonus depreciation can create huge losses today… but it can also create depreciation recapture later.

And depending on your situation, that recapture could hit when:

• your income is higher
• your tax bracket is higher
• or you’re selling at a time you didn’t plan for

Smart investors don’t just ask, “How much can I deduct?”
They ask, “When should I take the deduction?”

Sometimes bonus depreciation is perfect.
Other times, spreading deductions out can be the better long-term move.

It’s not about being aggressive — it’s about being strategic.

Curious — have you taken bonus depreciation before and been happy with the results, or did it create surprises later?
