Here are 10 tax tips every homeowner should know:1️⃣ Mortgage Interest Deduction: Deduct interest on loans up to $750K!

As mentioned in the podcast, you can carry forward the paper loss, which could offset future rental income or other income once the property is fully operational as a rental.To maximize your benefit, doing the cost segregation study now while bonus depreciation is still at 100% would allow you to accelerate depreciation and take advantage of the full deduction in the year the property is placed in service as a rental.

Maximizing Deductions: You can still claim tax deductions (mileage, repairs, management time, etc.) on both properties as long as they’re legitimately related to rental activity, even if one isn’t in an LLC.

I had to deduct 5K off one sale and 9K off the other once the buyers did plumbing inspections...

Renting it out would let you keep the asset, earn some extra cash, and possibly benefit from tax deductions like depreciation.

To save money, management raised the wind and hail insurance deductible from 5 to 10 percent.

Many of these people are business owners who deduct too much on their taxes so banks won’t lendI love selling to Hispanics because they pay on time and have large down payments.

Quote from @Bruce Schussler: A lot of Podcasts and Youtuber's say to cash-out refinance to keep rents balanced with payment; (PITI) then use those funds strategically to re-invest either in more real estate or just put into a high interest bearing account or money market account...Here's some of my thoughts and comparisons;Cash-out refinance with new loan so rents balance with payment:- The cash-out refinance is 100% tax free- The funds can be put into a money-market account off-setting a portion of the interest charge of loan- The loan balance gets eventually destroyed by inflation- The liquid cash eventually gets destroyed by inflation - The interest on the new loan can be deducted from the rent income- The refinance costs are 3-4% of the total- There is less equity in the property and LLC that can be attached in case of a lawsuit- The break-even on cash-out refinance with current interest costs on the new loan is around 12 years Vs.Paid-off property with positive cash flow:- The positive rent income is 100% taxable minus only depreciation and property tax- There is more equity in the property and LLC that can be attached with a lawsuit- The break even is not until after 12 years at today's interest rates- There is a rate risk in today's inflationary environment where interest rates on bonds keep rising*It appears to me that the cash-out refi is in the best interest for a property investor; (Dave Ramsey would strongly disagree!)

Especially if they gain tax deductions that might be worth as much the income. 

You can deduct that amount from the deposit and refund the remainder.
