Essentially you are creating future tax free income by being able to roll over these losses.If your income is between $100,000 and $150,000, a portion of that $150 loss is deductible and the rest rolls forward.If your income is less than $100,000, your loss is fully deductible - and THAT's the cool thing about rental income.

Each has their own priorities and they are often diametrically opposed:•Owners want to maximize rental income while minimizing expenses.

Longer lead times I get alot of intern inquiries which can be fine but income wise they aren't as strong a candidate.
