With last years taxes, I was able to write off my rental income down to zero through depreciation, repairs, hoa's, taxes, insurance, etc on my rental properties.Since I do not meet the qualifications to go to $-25,000 I was wondering if the additional money I could have written off can be passed on to next years taxes?

@Chad FriesenI think more education and qualifications is always beneficial.

However, there are those who will use FMV or even the Tax Appraised Value (TAV).Just ask each lender what their lending criteria is and you will find out their expectations and qualifications needed to hopefully mover closer to your goal.Big Henry

I can locate the property's to buy at great prices ...thats where the funding comes in .Anyone Interested ...I am ready to start & so is the Broker & Agent plus Pre-qualifer if needed ..text Laurie @760 421-841

If the property is already rented, then rental income can be counted for loan qualification.

There are also restrictions on income qualifications and the maximum value of the loan you can take out. 

Also, with spring coming, I may lose out on a longer term tenant.Opinions on whether I should take these tenants( assuming regular qualifications are met)? 

., great commentary.With all this discussion of wages, home prices, interest rates, and qualification, I have to refer back to one of my favorite pieces of data that I haven't been updating lately: The Housing Affordability Index!

I feel getting these qualification can open doors for me and help me network.

Hello BP,I'm a beginning investor and waiting on my pre-qualification to come through from a lender (should find out on Sunday), and I'm working hard to build a really solid team that I can trust.
