However, situations vary, and investing in real estate isn\u2019t necessarily a way to reduce your tax burden. When you invest in real estate, you earn an income, and that income is subject to taxation, so investing in real estate may increase your tax burden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are several tax benefits of investing in real estate that might help reduce your tax burdens, whether you\u2019re a house flipper, landlord, or full-time investor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:641,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:1,&quot;12&quot;:0}\"><div class=\"cta_banner\" style=\"background:url(https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Catbanner2.jpg)\"><h3>We\u2019re here to help walk you through your home-buying journey, whether you\u2019re just starting your search or looking to refinance your current property.<\/h3><a href=\"https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/full-page-form-quick-quote\/\/\">Get Started<\/a><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the top benefits of real estate investing to help you understand how it works and how real estate investments may reduce your tax burden.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6254\" src=\"https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1368\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image4.png 1368w, https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image4-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image4-1024x464.png 1024w, https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image4-768x348.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1368px) 100vw, 1368px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1. Depreciation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depreciation is the loss of value for a property or another type of asset. Depreciation in real estate allows investors to deduct the cost of a property over time due to general wear and tear. This is one of the top tax benefits for real estate investors because you can claim a depreciation deduction on a rental property even if the market value has increased. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Residential real estate properties are typically depreciated over a period of 27.5 years. This means that you can claim a depreciation deduction on the property every year for those 27.5 years, provided the property continues to meet the minimum requirements to be considered depreciable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only the physical structure is depreciated (not the land itself).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depreciation begins when a property is ready to rent (i.e. when it\u2019s placed in service).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you sell your property, you\u2019ll pay income tax on any claimed depreciation because the IRS calculates capital gains based on your profits.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investment property tax deductions like depreciation reduce your taxable income, so you\u2019ll pay less in taxes for that year while maintaining cash flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Bonus depreciation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the bonus depreciation deduction, real estate investors can deduct up to 100% of qualifying property costs in the first year of service instead of spreading the deductions over decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus depreciation can apply to items like appliances, fixtures, and qualifying home improvements. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">The 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/blog\/mortgage\/how-the-obbb-tax-bill-impacts-real-estate\/\">One Big Beautiful Bill Act<\/a> (OBBBA) permanently reinstated 100% bonus depreciation, so assets placed in service after January 19, 2025, can qualify for this deduction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100% bonus depreciation can significantly lower your tax burden in the early years of ownership and make it easier to maintain positive cash flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Investment property tax deductions<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an investor, you\u2019re a business owner, so you can deduct business expenses from your taxable income. You\u2019re allowed to deduct expenses related to the management or maintenance of your rental property, which may include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/blog\/mortgage\/what-is-property-tax\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Property taxes<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Insurance<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Management costs<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Maintenance<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Utilities<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Repairs<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advertising\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legal and accounting fees\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business operations equipment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Owning a rental property provides investors with a wide range of deductions related to operating expenses and maintenance, which can directly lower taxable income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Capital gains<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you sell an investment property that grows in value, you\u2019ll be required to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/blog\/mortgage\/real-estate-capital-gains-tax-calculator\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pay taxes on your capital gains<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which are applied to the appreciation \u2014 or increase in value \u2014 of the property. However, the rate at which you\u2019re taxed depends on how long you\u2019ve held onto the asset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Short-Term Capital Gains<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short-term capital gains refer to the profit earned on an asset you\u2019ve held for less than 12 months.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taxed as ordinary income, which means you\u2019ll pay a higher rate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Long-Term Capital Gains<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assets that you\u2019ve held for more than 12 months are taxed as long-term capital gains.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-term capital gains rates are lower than short-term capital gains rates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short vs. long-term gains aren\u2019t necessarily a tax benefit, but it\u2019s important to keep in mind that you can benefit from longer-term investments if you can keep them for more than a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6256\" src=\"https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1368\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image6.png 1368w, https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image6-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image6-1024x357.png 1024w, https:\/\/griffinfunding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image6-768x268.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1368px) 100vw, 1368px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. <b>Rental income not subject to<\/b> FICA tax<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rental income is not subject to Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes like regular self-employment income.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The self-employment tax rate is 15.3%.

Passive income and the pass-through tax deduction<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your rental income can be considered a passive qualified business income (QBI).
