While forced appreciation is nice, it is only meaningful if I wish to sell or refinance and matters not to the loss of revenue experienced during turnover.

In an LLC, the profits, losses, etc., flow through the LLC directly to you.

Since my intention after 1-2 years of renting would be to take out of service and use solely for personal use, so trying to figure out how long/when I would have to leave in service to get Cost Seg/losses to offset W2 income benefit?

You should have an S-corp for this business so you don't fall under the SE tax rules and you still have flow-through status and single taxation.If you have the properties as investments, then you want it in an LLC as Rental Income is not subject to SE tax and you have more flexibility to pass on losses and make distributions to the partners.If something baffles you, then you need to ask more questions to get further explanation.

I.E.0 Annual Fee- $100.00 vs. 100% Tax Deductable of Loss and 100% of Cost.

You may have to take your loss and move on.Good Luck,Mike

A saying I like is "opportunities are easier made up than losses".Jon

Hi everyone, A newbie here, Kim Henderson, Realtor, Foreclosure Intervention Specialist, REO agent in Ohio, and I would like to do a mailing to all Banks, Asset management Departments, Loss Prevention Managers.Ect, snail mail and internet, is there such a thing ?

The Cash Flow produced in this example is not $85 per month, it is a loss.

The problem is we didn't anticipate this FOURTH BPO, so now I'm at a loss.
