Benjamin McBride “Depreciation-Only Partner” deal? First-time expat investor looking for guidance
20 November 2025 | 0 replies
W-2 or business income, which means I can’t actually use the depreciation that my rental properties produce.I am investing for long-term cash flow and appreciation, but the depreciation — which is a huge part of the return — is basically wasted on me right now.Because of that, I’m exploring the idea of bringing on a “depreciation-only partner.”Basic structure I’m thinking about:Partner contributes $10k–$20k toward the down paymentI contribute the rest (typically $30k–$40k depending on the deal)I handle all of the work: deal finding, due diligence, financing, property management, repairs, accounting, etc.I keep 100% of the equity, cash flow, appreciation, and long-term upsidePartner gets the depreciation for a set number of years (5, 8, or 10 depending on contribution amount)Partner gets their initial capital back at refinance or saleNo cash flow split, no equity split — just depreciation in exchange for helping me scale fasterVery similar to an LP position, but entirely backed by the tax benefitsFor someone in the 22–32% tax bracket, the annual tax savings from depreciation typically works out to a 6%–15% return on capital depending on their contribution tier.From my side, it lets me scale faster while not giving up equity or cash flow.My questions for the community:Has anyone structured a deal like this before?
