In this short, the speaker walks through a concrete real‑estate investment scenario. Katia (using Michael’s example) purchases a commercial building for $9 million, putting down $1.6 million as the initial payment. The speaker stresses that a building is a depreciable asset, unlike land which typically appreciates, and explains that tax law allows the building’s cost to be spread over a 39‑year depreciation schedule. This depreciation creates a tax‑deduction “liability” that can improve cash‑flow and ultimately help turn the modest down payment into a much larger return over time.
