Real estate investors tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Real Estate Investors Write Off?

Short answer: The biggest write-offs for real estate investors are depreciation, interest, travel to properties, and education tied to existing rentals.

Report income and expenses on Schedule C. Profit is hit with 15.3% self-employment tax plus income tax, so set aside 25-30% and pay quarterly estimates.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s and platform tax summaries, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose.
