Drewz Real Estate Blog Archives Buying Homes in 2006 - Part I Buying homes in Las Vegas will be very interesting in 2006. The number of resources available to buyers continues to increase along with the amount of competition among Realtors. Searching for real estate in the Las Vegas market offers many obstacles without the proper guidance from a quality Realtor. Internet resources include real estate listing sites such as Realtor.com, ZipRealty.com and hundreds more. There are numerous advice gurus offering the latest strategy to buying and selling in any real estate market. Not only do buyers have access to home listings via Internet, they can go into any grocery chain and pick up the latest copy of the newest real estate magazine for free. Banks and financial institutions make borrowing as easy as clicking a few buttons on your keyboard. These are all good resources to have when buying a home, selling a home or investing in real estate. The more educated one is the better they will fare when that transaction finally goes through. There is a downside to all this. Without the guidance of a quality Realtor, many homeowners are left out to dry. So many Realtors are more interested in their commission then they are in their clients interest that they will do almost anything to get the parties to sign papers. One particular instance, and this is not uncommon, happened to a very good friend of mine a couple years back. He and his wife were looking at homes in Las Vegas. After several months of searching they finally found a place that they wanted to buy. Their Realtor, who was more concerned with making his commission then he was in protecting his clients interests, suckered them into buying the home with no money down and a mortgage that should have bankrupted them. On top of that, they were locked into that mortgage by a pre-payment penalty clause that would suck out any equity that might exist, if they were to refinance or sell the home. Check back soon and Ill share with you how these folks managed to stay afloat almost two years under these conditions, and eventually climb their way out of the whole that was dug under them. Although I'm not a Realtor, I do have many Realtor friends. These are quality professionals who are sincerely interested in helping people attain their goals in the Real Estate market. Whether buying homes, selling homes, or investing in real estate, Realtors are supposed to look out for their client's best interest. Some play by the rules, many do not.

Rental income must be reported on your tax return, and generally, associated expenses can be deducted from your rental income. Reviewing answers to the following common questions regarding rental property may help you understand the tax implications of rental property ownership: What is considered rental income? What deductions can I take as an owner of rental property? What are some things I should know about rental property? Contact your local Jackson Hewitt office for more information or assistance. Use the Office Locator feature available on this Web site or call 1-800-234-1040 to find the Jackson Hewitt location most convenient to you. What is considered rental income? Rental income is any income you receive for the use or occupancy of property you own. Some examples are: Rent Payment to cancel a lease Advance rent Expenses paid by the tenant Any security deposit kept because a tenant did not fulfill their part of the rental agreement Do not include: A security deposit you are holding with the intent of returning it to the tenant at the end of the lease Income received from renting your home for fewer than 15 days per year Back to Top What deductions can I take as an owner of rental property? Deductible expenses for rental property are the ordinary and necessary expenses to manage, conserve, and maintain your property. Deductible expenses include: Advertising in the newspaper for tenants and cost of signs Cleaning supplies Real estate taxes Mortgage and other interest paid for the rental property Cost of insurance-hazard, flood, fire, or liability Payments for service such as lawn care, pest control, and trash collection Payments for maintenance of the property Professional fees for tax advice and tax return preparation fees for the part of the tax return dealing with rental property Cost of new locks and keys Commissions paid for finding tenants Cost of necessary transportation to and from the rental property for the purpose of maintenance, management, rent collection, picking up supplies, or checking the property (if you use your personal vehicle, either keep track of actual expenses and miles traveled or just the miles traveled) Cost of repairs and maintenance (not improvements) to keep your property in good condition (this includes items such as repainting and fixing floors and windows) Cost of renting equipment used for the rental property Depreciation of the property (not including the land) Depreciation of appliances, furnishings, and improvements Any long distance calls associated with your rental property The court costs for evicting a tenant Legal fees pertaining to the rental property or tenants Utilities Expenses incurred when the property is not rented as long as you are actively trying to rent the property (even if you are renting it for the first time) You cannot deduct: Rental income lost due to vacancy The cost of improvements which increase the value and/or extend the life of the property or modify it for a new use (includes such things as a room addition, new carpet, new appliances, fencing, or a new roof - these items can generally be depreciated) Back to Top What Are Some Things I Should Know About Rental Property? If you rent only part of your property, certain expenses must be divided between the part used as rental property and the part used for personal purposes. If you do not rent your property for profit, you can deduct your rental expenses only up to the amount of your rental income. When rental property is sold, the resulting gain or loss is treated as ordinary or capital, depending on the circumstances. The rental of personal property such as equipment or vehicles is reported as business income. You are in the business of renting personal property if the primary purpose for renting the property is income or profit and you are involved in the activity on a continuous and regular basis. If your rental of personal property is not a business, other rules for reporting will apply. Losses from residential rental properties are subject to certain limitations. If you are considered a real estate professional, special rules apply for the reporting of income and losses. For more information, contact your local Jackson Hewitt Tax Service office. Back to Top Back to Tax Topics Tax Tips JOB-RELATED EXPENSES Some of your job-related expenses that may be deducted include union dues, job-related magazines and books, and other related business expenses. Generally, you must depreciate the cost of tools used in your work. If your employer requires you to wear work clothes or uniforms that are not suitable for everyday wear, you may deduct the cost and upkeep. home | about us | tax news | tackle your taxes | learn & earn | own a franchise | work with us | privacy/terms of use © 2004 Jackson Hewitt Inc.
