How To Avoid Taxes by “Buying” Rental Property Write-Offs

What does it mean to “buy” rental property write-offs? Every investor wants to know how to avoid taxes. Many rental property investors get into real estate for this reason alone. And it makes sense—rental property write-offs are not only common in the world of real estate investing but can be very lucrative in almost eliminating your yearly tax burden. So what happens when you feel like you’ve maxed out your real estate tax benefits? Is there a way to pump out even more tax advantages from the same property?

We’re back again with another Live Takes episode, where our hosts, David Greene and Henry Washington, do their best to answer the BiggerPockets community’s investing inquiries. Joining us are four investors each at different stages of their journeys. These investors ask about how to reduce self-employment tax, finding a mentor when you’re brand new to the investing game, what happens when partners disagree on where and what to invest in, and how to maximize depreciation on a cash-flowing property.

Do you have a question you’d love to ask David? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can jump on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot!
