High Net Worth Individuals - Tax Advantages/Best Practices?
Question is for folks that are 150K in earnings and investing in Real Estate as a passive investor and NOT designated as a "real estate professional. I currently have apartment complex (MFH) in FL and about to purchase another MFH in an Opportunity Zone. I have a property management that runs this business since I have a full time job. I would LOVE to quit my job and become a real estate professional so I can write off passive losses against my income but that isn't an option.
What are some tax advantages, best practices that I should be aware of as I'm trying to lower my tax basis as much as humanly possible -Being a "high net worth individual" limits this. Any best practices would be welcome. Thank you. -Ed

@Ed Moran
You are still benefiting from the tax laws eventhough you make over $150,000 and can't use the passive losses to offset your other income(assuming you have passive losses and not passive income).
You are being entitled to depreciation. The cash-flow is not being taxed at the high tax rates.
Furthermore, you have a large disposal of tax tricks in the event of an exit plan.
