It can be good policy to keep the tenant but if they aren't asking for it, I'm probably not doing it until I need to or if there's an insurable loss..but that's me;Aside from that, you don't really need a POD and in risk more liability in moving their stuff.

HelloWas wondering if anyone has consistently been showing very little profit or even taking losses on a rental properties year after year when shown on paper.

These changes include transfer to another state, loss of income from changing jobs, which makes the home unaffordable, and sale of home due to layoffs or in some cases retirement.

If you are not making a lot on the rent then that depreciation deduction would end up with you showing a loss on paper that could potentially shelter some of your other income from taxation.

In either case, they are often seeking passive income so that they can offset passive losses that otherwise they are not able to currently claim.5) The final sale of the property at a gain will typically be taxed at favorable long term capital gains rates at the individual level.This has just been my experience. 

But while "free and clear" may decrease the risk of loss from negative cash flow or losing a property, it may also INCREASE the risk of you not having sufficient income and resources to meet your needs/goals, etc., because you are accumulating assets so much more slowly at lower ROI & with higher taxes.

Heat loss to air and adjacent concrete and snow/ice has to be exceeded by heat added by electricity.

Offering flexibility for Me.I guessing that My loss mitigation contact has not spoken with the loan department.

In your case if you lose a prospective tenant you could charge for any losses that youbear such as losing a tenant but in lieu of that it is double daily rent.

If it is maintenance that is expensed on the tax return (and you don't have losses over 25k that you are rolling forward, then you should compare apples to apples post tax.
