When we sold the house for a large profit, it was difficult to determine who got what profits and the CPA struggled to navigate how to file taxes since I lived in the house for over two years.

Things in your tax filing need to be really off to do this.Being a REP/active participant and using cost seg to offset a spouses (or your own if that's all you do) W-2 wages is fairly common practice.

Did I mention there is no property tax in Croatia ;) When you buy abroad, it’s not just a property that you are buying...you are buying into a lifestyle.

The best option depends on your goals, liability concerns, and tax strategy, with LLCs often offering the most protection.Talk to an attorney.

Too bad you can't buy something owner-occupied, put 5% down with the best interest rate, live in it for 12 months (and fix it up), rent it out and repeat the cycle.Here's some other info you might find useful:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

My question is do I have to recapture all the depreciation for tax in 2025?

I will want to continue to continue to defer the taxes but in an UPREIT.

@Hiyun Park only experienced investors can DIY everything in Class C Midwest areas like Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis, etc.Hopefully the info below will help you:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I'm thinking of ways to invest some money to bring me a residual income so I have watched Bob Diamond blueprint on overages.Has anyone tried hus program or currently using the program today.

So if you buy a 5 bedroom house and rent the spare 4 bedrooms = you can still sell tax-free under the 121 (you just pay back depreciation) If you buy a duplex and rent 1/2 and live in 1/2.
