    I suggest conducting a cost segregation study on both the acquisition and improvements.  You can take advantage of bonus depreciation and accelerated depreciation deductions to offset your passive income.

    With the 1031, you might have excess basis which is eligible for bonus depreciation.  Talk to your CPA and/or certified cost segregation professional.
