You are paying what you would in rent but also capturing the benefits of owning (Loan paydown, appreciation, tax benefits). 

Case in point: James Beard Award-winning chef Rodney Scott is opening his newest BBQ joint right on the downtown strip.

You can see what works (equity capture at the buy for example can increase your net worth instantly), what doesn't work, what's within your control, and what may be out of your control (negative year in the stock market). 

Talk to a CPA, but there are things like capturing bonus appreciation.

this GP guy capture my message accurately :

well lumber is down  so that could help.. but if your just getting a lump from your GC I guess that is his delta to capture. 

They are thinking a couple steps ahead to capture gain, rinse, and repeat.

@Hannah Potter I usually tell investors that the sooner you get a CPA the better to ensure you are capturing as many tax benefits as possible.

How should the tax return capture each property separately as well as the 1099.1099 Total (example):  36,000k totalproperty 1: 10k total rentproperty 2:  20k total rentproperty3: 6k total rentThis is what we are doing and just curios as pros and cons:  We report a schedule E for each property. 

It captures all my lead sources and catalogs them based on their origins.
