Funny enough, prior to 1986 this rule didn't exist, and you could write off losses from rentals on w2 income.

The investigation will focus on whether the group’s rules inflate the cost of selling a home.The renewed federal inquiry comes after the U.S.

I can't do anything to my rental to increase efficiencies in creating more income until it is vacant or the market decides I can.Businesses will require workers, that require leading, and that requires more patience and more hard decisions/conversations to make.

By adding a shower and moving the sink in the first-floor bathroom, I created a more functional space.

Hey @Dan Adams, ADU's in Portland are still a newer topic and builders are the ones who are savvy enough to have figured out the rules to market to homeowners efficiently what they can offer.

I plan to do cost seg study and get bonus depreciation (and will actively participate as per IRS rules) but need to confirm if this would still work if buy STR under LLC and I can still be eligible for that STR loophole?

We just started the process of creating an LLC so we can can track finances and submit for tax purposes.

He is saving/creating ~$30k a year over renting including maintenance/vacancy/landlord paid utilities for the property.

Look up your local rules. 

I'm looking for ownership structures, financing structures, or various methods for a buyer who follows Sharia Law to buy properties without breaking the rule?
