Is it true that Owning rental real estate lowers an investor's US income tax through depreciation deductions?

Yes. A reference source states the IRS allows taxpayers to deduct depreciation of an asset, including rental property, from ordinary income, which lowers taxable income. Other sources partially corroborate that depreciation deductions exist for real estate investors, though they are less direct.
