Chad Greeenhill Anything wrong with having the best house on the block

Hi,When you over improve a flip for a neighborhood, the dangers are two-fold.It may not appraise for financing forcing you to sell at a lower price.Buyers might not come look at it because it is a 300k house in a 240k neighborhood.I am not saying this will happen but I have done dozens of flips, never lost money and I never want the best house on the block.Good luck and I hope you do very well with this!
Craig Kleffman California 4 Unit - Epitome of CA Excess?

I do know that if you're not a RE professional and even if you're actively managing your real estate assets you will not be able to write off any of your passive losses from your rental real estate when you're over 150k AGI (you mentioned you were 190k AGI - prior to itemized deductions and exemptions).Also the other thing is that when accountants go to create your depreciation schedule they dont take the 1.75M and divided it over 27.5 years.They typically (other wise proven via engineering study or cost seg report) use the LA/ventura county tax assessors value for land and improvement(building) and they take that percentage on the assessors website and apply it to your 1.75M sales or acquisition price to determine your depreciable basis.So for example, if the improvement was 80% of 1.75M then you have a depreciable basis of $ 1,400,000 / 27.5 years = $ 50,909.10 annual write off.Back to the above REpro, if you're not a REpro, you wouldnt be able to write off anything against your active/earned income and you feel the full brunt of the tax man unfortunately.
