[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a professional landlord, but over the years I've had three rental properties (a condo in Logan, an English basement in my primary residence, and a townhouse in NOVA). I've never had a positive cash flow in any of them when IRS-required depreciation is taken into account, and that's fine with me. It means I'm not paying any income taxes on the rental income because technically I'm operating at a loss. But the value of my rental properties is increasing every year. That's what RE investing is all about. The tax laws encourage losses. How do you think Trump got so rich? As much as I hate him, I know from personal experience on a much smaller scale that most of what he's done in the RE business is perfectly legal.[/quote]
