When I purchased the property, it had the basement with tenants but the rental income wasnt taken into account and it was just considered a two flat, as it had two units in addition to the basement.

Quote from @Pat Aboukhaled: Curious.. do you think a flat rate for the whole season feels more convenient, or would you rather pay per snowfall to avoid paying for a mild winter?

Solar panels may qualify for the 30% federal energy credit, and advertising expenses, like adding your company’s logo, are deductible.However, Section 280A restricts deductions for any dwelling unit used as a residence for more than 14 days annually, even if partially used for business.

I lived in Madrid, Spain for about 8 months and I am curious if it is possible for non-residents to successfully have rental properties within the country.My concern is mostly from a tax standpoint and whether it makes sense.My research shows that Non-residents of Spain(but a resident of Europe) pay a flat rate of 19% on NET RENTAL INCOME.Non-residents of Spain(Not a resident of Europe, such as the USA) pay a flat rate of 24% on GROSS RENTAL INCOME.The difference of paying tax on Net and Gross is huge.Americans are not able to deduct expenses such as mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, cleaning, repairs, etcA pro that I can think about when it comes to invest in Spain is that overall costs are less - Mortgage rates are currently around 4% - 4.5% while it is around 6.5% - 7% in the US.Am I reading the tax law correctly?

If so, were permits pulled & were they installed by a professional5.Are any of the homes rented to students6.Is there a flat roof7.are there asbestos shingles8.

For example, a $550,000 two-flat in Albany Park might bring in $2,500/month from the rented unit while you live in the other—covering most of your mortgage.3.

Hi Danielle, As a property manager, if you were my client, I would recommend that you incorporate a monthly flat rate utility fee into that tenants lease.
