I am planning to rent out my house. I have made considerable renovations to the property. I was told that I could write these home improvements off when my house becomes a rental prop. What I am not clear on is whether I can write things off if I am working with a property management company or if I must manage the property myself. I am not sure if there is a difference.

I would appreciate any clarification on this from people in the know! I want to be assured that I can write off these improvements, as it exceeds $25,000 at this point. Thanks.

Does anyone have advice on the best way to treat income and expenses on a rental property. Wondering if it’s best to collect rent and pay expenses through an LLC or just personally. What are the tax consequences of being taxed like a corporation (1120-A) versus just putting everything on my personal (1040 Schedule E)

I sold a rental property for 95k bought it for 55k. I have another rental property that I still owe 30k. Can I take the profit from the sold property and pay off the rental and not pay taxes on that 30k. Also can I take the 10k left over and pay on my residence to avoid paying taxes on that.

In ‘07 I spent about 18,000 adding a basement in-law apartment to my multi-family home. I was hoping I could write off the expense against my rental income. Is this legally possible?
