Not a rule of thumb
Commercial estimates are prepared by Engineering and held to a deeper investigation than other firms.
Underwrite the deal with the depreciation in it. Before you close, Engineering prepares an estimate of what an engineered study is expected to accelerate on the property you are buying.

Commercial investors buying office, retail and industrial buildings want the most bonus depreciation in year one, and they want to know it before they close. The estimate gives the underwriting a depreciation number prepared by Engineering.
Address, property type, purchase price under contract, expected closing and planned improvements.
Engineering prepares the estimate, with a written, fixed-fee proposal for the study within 24 to 48 hours.

After closing, the study produces the allocation and schedule for the first return that includes the property.
