Estimating Income Taxes on cahs flow

[Jeff G.]

Why are income taxes never incorporated into cash flow calculations?  I am on track to have 6K positive cash flow in my first year for a house I bought this January.  I however don't have the slightest idea how much of that I am going to give to Uncle Sam.

How do you seasoned investors estimate this when purchasing and analyzing properties.

Thanks.

Hi @Jeff G.

Your cash flow may very likely be covered by repairs and depreciation, so you likely will not pay anything to Uncle Sam for it. There's tons of awesome CPAs on here, fire up a meeting with them:
