Quote from @Glenn Levy: Hi Marlene. 

First - no, cannot deduct "value of points."

They said their insurance has a high deductible so they decided to split the bill between me and the next door neighbor.

Gross Rental Yield is approximately 0.72%, while NOI is calculated by deducting operating expenses from rental income.

Furthermore, you can deduct the interest payments against your rental income.

I have gone 10+ miles for certain complex properties (and I am in a pretty densely populated area).5) I may also use a a triplex and try to determine an adjustment for the 3rd unit, to deduct that from the comp.

I factored that in as a cost and deducted it from the purchase price when I negotiated.

I do have a question about this "itemized security deposit deduction letter".

This calculation includes depreciation deducted during income tax returns.

Also if you arent a warning incase you see the taxes paid last year from a primary owner you may have to pay more as you wont have that deduction in property value. https://www.phila.gov/services/property-lots-housing/propert...
