How? How can you write off the loss of you aren't in the real estate business and make more than $110,000 a year?

I would assume s/he is depreciating the property.

$300 per month in cash above mortgage, etc. Stable tenant in there going on 4 years so no motivation to raise rent.

But even then, above $110,000 the losses can't be taken against ordinary income, but are capitalized and can only be taken against capital gains. So no writing off.

Wouldn't you net quite more by selling the block and investing the proceeds?

1950 from rental
over 1300 from owner financed mortgages

But even if you depreciate, you can't offset anything but rental income right? I don't own any rental property, but it doesn't seem worth the effort of dealing with tenants if you don't make any money.

I don't own rental property but I would think the main draw is the tenant paying the mortgage and building up your equity for you.

I disagree. There is an opportunity cost to tying up a down payment. If you have $150K you can put it in the market and make an average annual return of 7%. IMO rental property should return more than that to be worth the investment - not to mention the time and trouble.

Sorry mines a little strip mall with 5 units, 3 tenants (in the South). I won it in a poker game so I have no mortgage. I'm no financial genius.
