I’m doing a project for my business class, and I need lots of informations on this question.

Also I have another question:
What type of taxes do you have to pay on real estate?

In accordance with the usual IRS travel/meals/ent rules, of course. Are these deductible this year even if I buy next year? What if circumstances change and I don’t buy at all? I’ve heard that if I don’t buy, not deductible; if I do, must be added to basis, not deducted. On the other hand, another person doing the same thing was told by his accountant to form an ‘investment’ corp. and write off all his real estate searching travel within that corp. (hopefully, he is not planning to tell this guy to buy the real estate in the corp, but if he isn’t then the tax write offs for the corp don’t seem that legit.). Thoughts? Thanks.
Sorry, this is for investment purposes, not for a personal residence.
Not pers residence, not vacation home. Rental property.
Yes, I already have one investment property, and the reason for buying elsewhere is because I believe, and research seems to back me up, that better value and better price appreciation can be had there vs here (think an expensive bubble area where rent positive rentals are hard to achieve, vs a midwestern locale where stuff is cheap and rent positive is the norm).

mcurry81 asked:


I’ve made less this year than last in my real estate business because the market is really bad right now. I have much more in business expenses though. I don’t want to be audited, just wondering if anyone out there with experience knows what a reasonable amount in expenses for just having one sell.

I purchased a home in October, 2007. My monthly mortgage payment includes my county, state, and school taxes (they are placed in Escrow).

Apparently my tax payments will be paid out of escrow in April, May and August of 2008.

Does that mean that I can not claim real estate for my 2007 return?

(At closing, I did have to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes he had already paid up to Dec. 31.)

I plan on getting a real estate license for the education and qualification when managing my private real estate investment career.

Where/how do I deduct these costs on my taxes? Eventually I’ll set up a real estate company where I could deduct them, but that won’t be set up for a while.

Thanks.
