Negative Income but Good deal after write off?
Hi Guys!
Can I please get some help on a deal that I closed on but haven't removed subjects yet.
Property Value: 184,000
Down-payment: 35% (2.3%@ 25years) =$282.25/mo
Balance Mortgage: (2.49% @ 30 years) = $471.15/mo
Property Tax: $100/mo
Strata: $200/mo
Total Expense : $1053.4/mo
Market Rent = $1000
Loss = -$53.4/mo
Now here's the question, I'm not sure how other cities/states do it but in BC Strata, Property Tax, Property management, utilities and interest rate on purchase are tax-write offs, so in my thinking
Annual Expense = $12,640
Annual Rent =$12,000
Tax Write off = $3,600 + (Interest rate pro-rate)
Income after write off= $2,952.2
Please let me know if people actually compute it this way or if I make sense at all.

Never purchase a negative cash flow property just for tax benefits. It's a horrible deal.
