How to balance the balance sheet when real estate property is depreciated annually?. Client has an investment property worth $400,000 (apartments unit) paid $100,000 down and has a mortgage of $300,000. at the very beggining his balance sheet is:
assets= $400,00
liabilities= $300,000
equity = 100,000
After a year there is $15,000 in depreciation (just an example). the asset in the balance sheet is reduced by this depreciation.
How dowe treat this depreciation in the balance sheet so it balances ??
Your input is really appreciated
