Investor’s Technology

What Landlord would want to pay more than necessary for interest or any other day-to-day operating expense? None, of course! So why are so many paying more taxes on their rental income than they have to?

Well, my guess is they just don't know how Rental Real Estate can provide more tax benefits than almost any other investment. Failing to take advantage of all the tax deductions available could make the difference between losing money and earning a profit on a rental property.

Real Estate Managers have a responsibility to help their Investors achieve their financial goals for their properties—Property Management Companies like ours at Red Team Real Estate, use advanced technologies and industry leading practices to help you and your investments operate at their fullest potential.

There are only 168 hours in a week and your Property Manager should be working smart and using them wisely! Owning real estate is a business and should be treated as such. Just because someone agrees to collect the renter’s check, does not ensure they are looking out for you best interest…

The 7 Guides When Selecting a Property Management Company, coming soon in 2016!

Tax Time is Almost Here… Are You Prepared?

Part 2: Technology for Investors

The objectives of investment in Real Estate have traditionally been income and appreciation in the value of the property. But there’s much more to the story—there can be lucrative tax advantages as well: IF YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT!

What’s an operating expense?

For tax purposes, you will figure your profit or loss each year from operating the rental property. Generally, you can deduct all expenses incurred to operate the rental. The following are potential operating expenses that are deductible:

• Advertising
• Cleaning & maintenance
• Bank charges – if a separate account is maintained
• Insurance – fire, casualty and liability
• Utilities – gas, electricity, water, cable, etc.
• Services – yard care, pool service, pest control, etc.
• Rental commissions
• Property Management fees
• Mortgage interest – on debt to acquire or improve the rental
• Property taxes
• Repairs
• Local transportation expenses
• Homeowner's or association dues
• Tax return preparation fees
• Depreciation allowance

There are so many variables when it comes to operating expenses, and because taxation can have such a significant impact on your cash return as an Investor, it only makes sense to have both knowledge and technology working for you!

The fact is, being aware of the tax laws which affect Real Estate is a major first step in making the most of your property, but that’s only part of the puzzle… There's a lot of labor, paperwork, and “red tape” associated with this type of investment, so unless you are leveraging the benefits of the best technologies, you’re probably spending an excessive amount of time “saving” money.

C’mon, you know the saying – Time is money. So the real question should be... How much money are you spending on your investment?

Property Management Companies like ours at Red Team Real Estate, use advanced technologies and industry leading practices to help you and your investments operate at their fullest potential.
