@Sandy Sawyer I'm glad you found our content!

Yes depreciation was one of the harder concepts for me to wrap my head around initially. @Cody L. has a lot of great points.

Depreciation is an interest free loan from the government. For example, I bought a fourplex and conducted a cost segregation study to front load my depreciation. It was like 170,000! I had a 170k loss to use against other income. $170000 * 25% tax bracket is $42,500. I took that money I got today and invested in another deal. 

Yes, I'll pay it back eventually, but for now I get to invest it and make money from it.
