How to deal with expenses paid out of pocket?
Hi, I'm a new owner of a distressed commercial property.
The property is owned by a LLC. I own the LLC outright. I've set up a separate bank account for the LLC, and am tracking all expenses through quickbooks.
I've been doing some work on the property (repairs and improvements) and paying out of pocket for these expenses (from my personal bank account). I know that for 2017 that my expenses will eclipse my income from the property, because there's only 1.5 months left in 2017 and since the property is distressed, I'm getting zero cash flow while we rehab. I was planning on entering these expenses as items to reimburse myself for (IE: pay my personal account back from the business account), but since the expenses will be higher than the income, I can't reimburse them in 2017.
How do I deal with this? Do I roll these expenses over to 2018? Do I show them as investment in the property and show a loss for 2017?
