My capital gains will be about $150k.I'm thinking about raising my realtor fees (ie 10%-20%) in order to lower my capital gains reported.So it would look like this:Sale price= $245,000Realtor Commissions= $24,500(at 10%) -My managing broker only charges me $500 for each transaction no matter how much the commission is so my splits will not change at all based on the percentage.capital gains (figured after ALL selling costs including commissions noted above= $125,000If I do not claim realtor commissions, my cap gains would be $150K.
Brett Dudley Short term rental loophole then long term rental in the future

Typically, it's applicable to certain types of property, and the rules can change.Regarding short-term rentals and bonus depreciation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) introduced favorable changes for businesses, including bonus depreciation for certain qualified property, but the specifics can depend on your situation.Using your property for short-term rentals may affect your ability to qualify for certain tax benefits, and the classification of your property (personal residence, rental property, business property, etc.) can impact the tax treatment.The IRS has guidelines regarding the depreciation of rental property, and bonus depreciation may not always be applicable to residential rental property.Additionally, if you decide to switch the use of your property (from short-term rental to long-term or mid-term rental), there could be implications for tax treatment.Given the complexity of tax laws and the potential impact on your specific situation, it is strongly recommended that you seek advice from a qualified tax professional.

Tee Ward Difficult to rent out unit with only one bathroom on lower level?
16 February 2024 | 5 replies
To people that are used to living in houses built in the 70's and later, not having a bathroom on the top floor may be a deal breaker, but if this is a popular part of town, particularly if it tends to feature older houses (1920-50's), then the people looking in that area will likely not mind as much.Now, if every property around you has multiple bathrooms on each floor, and yours is the outlier, then that could be an issue, and you will need to price rents accordingly, but overall, you can't please everyone, including your friends.
