Salvage value refers to the estimated value of the property at the end of its useful life. Useful life is determined based on the property&#8217;s class, which varies for residential and commercial real estate.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Is_straight-line_depreciation_applicable_to_all_types_of_rental_properties\"><\/span>1.
