How does depreciation work if you rent the property years after buying it?
Hi,
Situation:
Bought condo in 2019 for $238k and made $10k of repairs over 4 years.
Rented out the condo (valued at $310k) in 2023 (this year).
Question:
What would the total value be that I get to depreciate over the next 27.5 years? I am confused if I only get to deduct based on the original purchase price, or the current value of $310k when I start renting it? Do past repairs come into play anywhere also?
