The 2016 season of the Channel 9 show “The Block” showed just how important tax depreciation can be.

Beach house Sunshine CoastOn the show, an old factory building in Sydney was purchased by the production company with the idea of turning the building into 5 separate rental units. Each of the apartments was put into the hands of the contestants of the shows so that they could turn it into a viable rental property.
