Hello all, my name is Andrew Bitler. I am a small real estate investor
with big problems. I recently joined a bunch of forums because there
is an important issue I need to investigate. I am utterly confused
about a certain tax strategy, so I hope you folks out there can help
me out. Here is my situation:

I want to save on taxes and that's why I invested in real estate. In
2006 I purchased 2 rental properties. I maxed out my deductions until
I couldn't find any other way to lower my taxable income. A lawyer
told me to accelerate depreciation on my properties, but I didn't want
to have to pay him to figure out what that means. I imagine that means
I can increase my depreciation deduction, but how? Anyone know what he
is talking about?
