FHA loans typically require the property to be a primary residence for at least one year, so he should confirm compliance with his lender.Once rented, he can deduct expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, maintenance, and depreciation starting from the date it's available for rent.

Hey @Nick Gallon Martin, I recommend speaking to a Tax Planner/CPA, @Jeff Nash would be a great resource for you.

@Anita Z.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.

I am a hard money lender and need advise if an unsecured loan I made through the Solo 401k defaults and is uncollectible are there tax write-offs as a result of the uncollected loan?

We are in a very low tax bracket this year but should be 10% higher in 2025.

So now we cover utilities for both units and the new tenant pays a higher amount too on the back unit to cover all the utilities with a great profit.  

Focus on tax-saving strategies such as cost segregation studies and bonus depreciation to accelerate deductions.By qualifying as a Real Estate Professional (spending 750+ hours annually and materially participating), you can offset your wife’s S-Corp income with real estate losses, reducing your tax liability.

@Armell MayersBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.
