The Bonus Depreciation Playbook

The law changed. Your strategy should too.

Bonus depreciation has re-emerged as one of the most powerful tools in commercial real estate (CRE), with the ability to materially reshape after-tax returns in the first year of ownership.

On July 4, 2025, 100% bonus depreciation was made permanent — no phase-down, no sunset. For CRE investors with meaningful taxable income, the right asset acquired at the right time can generate six-figure year-one tax savings. The playbook shows you exactly how — with real numbers, not estimates.
