Real Estate Tips
Liability Protection: Form an LLC to cleanly manage business inflows and outflows while protecting assets. (Sole Proprietorship vs LLC vs S-Corp)
Depreciation: Expense home appliances and infrastructure improvements on an individual basis over their service life instead of the aggregated 27.5 yr resident or 39 yr commercial depreciation
Expenses: Cash out business mileage on a monthly basis by running it through your entity (sample mileage log)
Property Exchanges: Use §1031, like-kind exchanges, on property to minimize recognized gain by deferring realized gains
Retirement: Utilize IRAs and 401ks to defer paying taxes (SEP IRA, Simple IRA, S-401k)
Active Losses: Qualify as a real estate professional to take active losses instead of passive losses:
Spending 750+ hours in real property business
Greater than ½ time spent
IRS Exception (<150k AGI)
