The write-off comes from the cost segregation estimate below. Not tax advice.
Cost segregation estimate
An estimate from the listing: every part of the home is priced from national construction costs, less wear for age, and the price (less land) is spread over the parts in proportion. The headline is what a typical cost seg study would claim for this property. The answers below are optional refinements.

About the property
Depreciation schedule: typical cost seg study
| Year | 5-yr | 15-yr | Building | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $76,700 | $53,200 | $500 | $130,400 |
| 2 | $0 | $0 | $12,500 | $12,500 |
| 3 | $0 | $0 | $12,500 | $12,500 |
| 4 | $0 | $0 | $12,500 | $12,500 |
| 5 | $0 | $0 | $12,500 | $12,500 |
| 6+ | $0 | $0 | $436,100 | $436,100 |
| Total | $76,700 | $53,200 | $486,500 | $616,400 |
The building's share of the price ($600,000) is 3.2x our depreciated replacement cost of the home ($187,000). The IRS guide treats a gap this size as a reason to review the land share: if land is worth more than the county ratio says, the basis and the write-off are smaller.
Model-based estimate, not an engineered cost segregation study. The IRS doesn’t approve studies; get a professional study before filing. Using these losses against W-2 income needs the short-term rental exception (average stay ≤7 days + material participation). The 39-year building life applies because stays average under 30 days, a separate test (27.5 years for a long-term rental). Federal only: California, Georgia and Wisconsin disallow bonus depreciation, Ohio adds back 5/6 of it, and Tennessee has no personal income tax. Not tax advice.
Market note
Fannin and Gilmer counties require STR registration and lodging tax; no cap found. Blue Ridge and Ellijay city limits have their own rules; most cabins are in unincorporated county.
