To maximize your tax advantages, treat 75% of the property as rental income-producing, allowing you to deduct expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, and depreciation on that portion.

If you are using STR, REPS, or self rental with material participation to convert to active or nonpassive income, you do not have to do this if you have passive business invesment that produce passive income that will exceed the loss generated by depreciation.

Tokenization of real estate assets can take numerous forms, but what you’re proposing is to separate the real estate “bundle of rights”, have the property owner sell one or more “rights” but not all of those rights, and represent the ownership of the rights that have been sold by tokenization utilizing block chain technology rather than the county “filing” systems currently in use.  

Filing a police report is crucial.

It's more about how to multiply the number of homes producing that cashflow.Bless

@Thomas Farrellmiscellaneous reactions-BRRRRs won't produce cash flow - they're an equity strategy, not a cash flow strategy-OOS BRRRR on your first deal will be incredibly difficult. 

Quote from @D'Ann Melnick: Saw this was an old question, but it came up in search - this is all part of the rent stabilization laws passed in 2024 - https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/Resources/Files/tena...The pet deposit cannot exceed $300 and the total amount of security deposits collected cannot exceed two month's rent.

I'm going to reiterate what's already been mentioned above, but I'm going to actually give you examples of why it's relevant to you to find a U.S. tax professional.1 - You're going to need to file U.S. taxes once you have property down here, there's federal filings, state filings, and sometimes local filings too2 - Tons of tax treaties between the U.S. and Canada that are easy to miss and can cost you a lot of money (important one with rentals - effectively connected income - if the professional you talk to doesn't know what this is, run away)3 - The amount of days you spend in the U.S. needs to be tracked and if you go over a threshold, all of your worldwide income could be taxable by the U.S.4 - Selling real property means up to 15% of your sales proceeds might not be available to you for years (FIRPTA)5 - Lots of nuance at the state and local levels, which both want to take as much money from you as possibleMain takeaway here is that you should find a U.S. based tax person.

If you gift your share, it may trigger gift tax filing if the value exceeds the annual exclusion ($18,000 for 2024 and $19,000 for 2025), though no immediate tax is due if under your lifetime exemption.

Additionally, ATCP 134.05 says that if the tenant provides a consumer credit report from an agency that compiles and maintains files on consumers on a nationwide basis and it is less than 30 days old, the landlord may still run a credit check but at its own expense.When I inquired with the company, they replied: "These laws are in place to ensure that you, as a landlord, are not profiting by incentivizing multiple applicants to apply when you have no intent to rent to them.
