Meet Jackson, a real estate investor who thought he had it all figured out.

You may be able to factor in certain improvements to your personal residence so when you do move out, you can be eligible to depreciate it.

You can offset the passive losses from one rental against the positive income from another rental.Therefore, you will likely have a net $3,000 loss across all the three rentals which you would carry forward.If your depreciation was more than $3,000, you basically made cash-flow or rental income that was not taxed, which is good.Best of luck

You can win most tax appeals when your taxes are just out of whack for comparable properties so if you can find examples of similar properties with lower taxes, that is the only way you will win.

Say we rent it out for 1 years after we move out - will the defer amount in the exchange be our entire appreciation?

Blue County = High taxes, pretty simple :)at $300 a month in taxes that’s a cash flow killer, you will need to go to the board next year and request an adjustment if possible, you may get granted but you will need to have a good report presented to the board with comps that are very similar to yours, but again it will be difficult because your property uncapped and it will never go back.
