I did talk to them on the phone and they said that the they are resetting the system. It doesn't seem like they are handling their operations very well. 

Michale,

I don't know :) Should I ask for the company financial report or statement for the last two years? 

Hi Everyone,

Have you heard of Lion Scale Resort? They reached out to me regarding my very nice furnished rental and offered to find and place corporate tenants for me, manage the property, charge %20 fee. Their projected renevue is really high and if correct, I would gladly pay the %20 fee! I wanted to ask around before I get into deeper conversation with them.

Hi everyone,

Can someone kindly explain the phrase underlined below in simpler English? 

A qualified real estate professional is a taxpayer who owns at least one interest in rental real estate that:

  • Performs more than 50% of their personal services in real estate trades or businesses in which they materially participate, AND
  • Spends more than 750 hours of services during the tax year in real property trades or businesses in which the taxpayer materially participates.

Quote from @Ashish Acharya:

Correct! Your portfolio has to be balanced if you are trying to avoid taxes on your passive income.  Mortgage payments are deductible, only interest portion is. 


 Thank you Ashish 

Quote from @Bill B.:

I hope you’re paying someone to do your taxes. Your income calculation and your depreciation calculation are both wrong. 

You need to add principle paydown to your income and not subtract your mortgage payment. 

You need to subtract the value of the land from your purchase before calculating depreciation.  

If you corrected your calculations and care out with the exact same numbers and didn’t want to pay $50 in taxes in $7500 in income (less than 1% (0.66%) tax rate which pretty good.) Then you could add $20/mo in expenses like a cellphone for contacting tenants or looking up properties. Or internet access to answer emails and look for properties. Or a newspaper or magazine subscription to keep up on real estate news. Of course you’d be spending $200 more per year but your taxes would be zero. 


 Thank you Bill, I had H&R block tax specialist and CPA do the taxes, I will follow up with them, but very likely, I misunderstood and misrepresented what they did ( I hope!).
