Meanwhile I have it in my hands today, even tho my valuation went down, my property tax bill is up exactly 10 percent.

My concern revolves around potential increases in taxes or fees for owning an investment property in NY while residing in FL.

HJTA is sponsoring an effort to fix California’s Prop 19 by restoring the ability to transfer property to children upon the parent's death WITHOUT reassessment and WITHOUT the often HUGE increase in property tax.

Quote from @Dante Ritchey: Hello everyone,My brother and I got our first multifamily back in August and are starting to think about good old taxes.

Our recommendation to most of our clients is that until we have additional information, if you are going to be able to claim bonus depreciation, just extend that tax return and wait for it to be finalized. 

My bookkeeping is done in-house and then sent to my CPA and Tax Advisor who are in Nevada (I am in NC). 

agents might be able to send you pocket listings, and wholesalers can put you on their buyers lists. you can also post in local facebook groups looking to see if anyone knows of any single-family homes that need a lot of love that the owner might want to see an offer on. you could also drive for dollars & target rundown-looking homes, and cold-call or cold-text the owners, or send mailers to them. note that it often takes multiple contacts to get a result with cold outreach. you can also go buy at tax auctions at the courthouse. you can buy from auction sites. you can look on facebook marketplace and craigslist. hope this helps!

How does the tax-deductible work in this situation?

The only insurance any legitimate private lender will ask you to buy is a lender's title policy and fire/hazard insurance (or landlord ins., or homeowner ins., etc., as appropriate).

However, title can be “clouded” many ways, including heirs who never registered their rightful interest (usually when someone dies without a will), spouses never formally divorced, common law marriage situations, children born out of wedlock, incorrect survey information, Sheriff and tax sales misidentifying multiple parcel situations, partial property rights transferred such as remainder estates, tax liens unrecorded, incorrect county identification due to changing county lines as when a river redirects, and of course plain old error in the property description copied onto the recorded warranty deed.
