7 Tax Deductions To Help Real Estate Investors Increase The Bottom Line

Tax advantages are one of the most positive aspects of investing in real estate.

An investor can make a profit on rentals but legitimately make a loss on paper. Every Canadians dream :)

Always, always take expert advice on tax matters just like legal issues.

Here though are 7 general ways to save money on your real estate investments.

1. Purchase Costs. These costs can include loan fees (origination fees, mortgage costs, title charges, appraisals, insurance premiums), title and escrow costs, as well as pre-paid taxes and items such as home warranties.

2. Interest. Interest payments are tax deductible.

3. Property expenses such as taxes and insuranceare tax deductible.

4. Maintenance and Repairs. These costs are inevitable if you wish to maintain and improve your property. You can deduct these costs.

5. Property Management Fees. Investors who use a management company to look after the property can deduct these costs.

6. Depreciation. This is one of my favorite real estate deductions. Despite being one of the best assets to invest in, there is a tax “loophole” called depreciation.

7. Legal and Accounting. Smart investors hire professionals to help protect their assets. Any costs you may incur with legal or accounting can also be deductible.

Property investing offers many advantages over other investments. Purchasing assets that produce passive income is the best way to become financially free. Taking advantage of the tax benefits is not only smart but will increase your bottom line.
