Real Estate Investors: Bonus Depreciation at 100% - Smart Move or Costly Mistake?

Why Bonus Depreciation Can Hurt Real Estate Investors

Bonus depreciation has returned to 100% for qualifying property, creating new opportunities for real estate investors.

However, the real question is not whether the deduction is available—but whether it should be used in the current year.

In this video, I explain how timing, income levels, and overall tax strategy determine whether bonus depreciation actually provides value.

Understanding when to use this strategy is just as important as understanding how it works.

I’m Lisa Marie Odeja, a CPA and Enrolled Agent specializing in tax strategy for real estate investors and established business owners.

Before starting Pinnacle Financial Services, I worked as a federal government auditor reviewing financial records and compliance.

That background continues to shape how I evaluate strategies — not just for potential savings, but for how they hold up under scrutiny.

If you’re considering bonus depreciation — or how it fits into your overall tax strategy — this is where proper planning makes the difference.

The decision isn't just about taking the deduction. It's about when it actually benefits you.
