Investment Properties

You may decide to purchase a property. Keep in mind that it may be difficult to generate a positive cashflow on a second property. Monthly mortgage costs can exceed the rent you're able to charge.

Investment properties also have unique tax implications. If you rent your property more than 14 days a year, it qualifies as investment property. If that is the case, you can usually deduct only a portion of your mortgage interest. All rental income is subject to income tax. However, you can deduct rental-related expenses (utilities, maintenance and depreciation) with certain limits. Consult your tax advisor to fully understand all the tax ramifications.
