Chris Rand How is cash-flow from rental houses and apartments taxed?
31 March 2018 | 8 replies
I note that you asked specifically about “cash-flows”, which has multiple components each treated differently for tax purposes.In general, you can start with NOI, next you have debt service and cap ex, which can get you to cash-flows.The interest portion of your debt service is tax deductible (possible subject to limitations) and the principal portion is not because you get basis in the asset for the loan principal, which generates a depreciation deduction.Similarly, cap ex is generally not deductible currently but the expenditure is capitalized and depreciated, similar to the initial basis in the asset.In summary, you have cash and non-cash tax items that cause your taxable income to differ from your cash-flows and taxable income * tax rate determines your tax liability.

and I fix it myself myself.I only recommend this for people who have the time to do it, are handy, and are not afraid of the possibility that a defective light switch could result in adopting a kitten or checking a fence for evil paper wasps could obligate a sibling to adopting a evil Malaysian Tokay Gecko that was not evil enough to deserve death from an unusually cold Florida winter.Being a landlord has had a few completely unexpected consequences lol.
