When a rental property is sold, how do you allocate the sales price across multiple depreciable items like renovation improvements and purchase of new appliances?

I will add one more "trick" If you have a group of assets that all need a sale date e.g. 5/31/2019 use Ctrl C to copy that data > Use Ctrl and the ꜜ (down arrow) to get to that field in the next bit of data > Use Ctrl + V to  paste the date there > Repeat > Rinse. This can be used to tie all those bulk assets together. 

Key is tie them all to one asset that has all the sales information.

Don't. Use the bulk sale feature.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
