If you do find someone to accept a deed, if it were me, I'd only provide a quit claim deed.

Given the timeline and the nature of these expenses, I'd appreciate any insights or advice from those familiar with tax regulations in such situations.Additionally, I'd like to know if I can claim depreciation, mortgage interest, homeowner's insurance, utilities, HOA dues, and other expenses associated with the rental units of my home from 09/08/2023 to 12/31/2023.

My questions span broad areas and as I continue to do my own research, I'd really appreciate any experienced investors and residents who can chime in:1) For those who have invested in Chicago and DFW, or moved from one to the other, are there any qualitative differences in the way homeowners approach rehabs, structural issues, expenses requiring insurance claims, or any other major overhauls that a newbie must account and budget for?

You will be able to claim the expenses (i.e. depreciation, property tax, utilities, etc.) still every year but the rental loss will be limited if you are not a "real estate professional"

I really doubt many would dispute that claim here.

Trusted advisors would never make that claim.  

I don't know if it helps or not, but on zillow you can "claim" your house under the "more" tab that is right under the picture or map.

They could use the tax break for gifting into someone's 529 and I wouldn't claim the money that goes straight into the kids 529. 

How was the claims experience if you used this?
