Tax guides for landlords and investors — written by a licensed CPA. Depreciation, 1031 exchanges, cost segregation, short-term rental taxes, and more.
A $350,000 rental property can generate over $10,000 in annual depreciation deductions — but only if you calculate it correctly. Learn how to determine your depreciable basis, apply the mid-month convention, and report it on Schedule E.
Standard depreciation spreads your deductions over 27.5 years. Cost segregation can front-load $50,000–$150,000 of deductions into Year 1 — potentially offsetting W-2 income for investors who qualify. Here's exactly how it works.
A 1031 exchange can defer tens of thousands in capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes when you sell a rental property. Learn the 45-day and 180-day rules, what counts as taxable boot, and how to structure a clean exchange.
