Hey thanks Wayne. So depreciation is building + closing costs?

I had a real quick question to see if I'm in the ball park. I want to buy a 4-plex and trying to get my depreciation number down. The scenario I have is if my 4-plex is worth 184,840 with land already subtracted would my depreciation be divided 27.5 which equals 6721. Is that my depreciation number? Thanks again for the advice, you guys are the best :)

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if any of you knew if there could be a cosigner on the Va loan who wasn't a veteran. I'm trying to weigh the options but didn't know the answer to this one. Thanks in advance for any insight :)
