Key Concepts Demonstrated

  • Property as commodity — PROP123MAIN enables Fava Holdings view with appreciation tracking
  • Contra-asset depreciation — AccumDepreciation shows gross cost and write-down on balance sheet
  • Mid-month convention — half-month depreciation in months of acquisition and disposition
  • Security deposits as liabilities — not income until forfeited; returned at lease end
  • Escrow impound account — monthly contributions disbursed for property tax and insurance
  • Depreciation recapture (§1250) — taxed separately from long-term capital gains at sale
  • Balance assertions — year-end reconciliation catches data-entry mistakes
