Upgrade to unlock to Pro Perks
My husband and I own 3 properties and are nearing retirement. We'd like to be done landlording, and don't want to have loans. Each property has a loan currently. 1. Can we sell one property (and not 1031 it) to pay off the loans on the other 2, then sell the paid off properties as 1031? 2. What options do we have that require less involvement than conventional rentals? Thanks!

@Louis Houette The building value of an STR is generally depreciated over 39 years (unlike the traditional 27.5 with LTRs). If you get a cost segregation study done on the property, the assets will be split by 5/15/39 year assets, with the 5- and 15-year assets being eligible for bonus depreciation. This is a heavily discussed topic, as a cost segregation is required in order to segregate the assets into the bonus depreciable classes and receive the tax benefits of bonus depreciation.
Real Estate - Estate Planning - Trusts and LLCs
Hello, I am updating my estate plan (Last Will and Testament) to add my 4 rental properties. I am putting them in a trust, however the attorney has advised that they will still have to go through probate unless I "fund the trust". I was quoted an up front fee (~$2000) to retitle everything into the trust including eligible investment accounts in addition to my real estate and then a $500/yr maintenance fee (not sure what the purpose of this fee is).
Contract Work and Real Estate Investing Under an LLC
As a general rule, you should avoid mixing your tech contract work and your real estate investing under a single entity. Combining these under a single business entity not only complicates your taxes for these different activities, but it also creates more exposure from a liability or asset protection perspective.
Cost segregation/ real estate professional status
Hi Oliver, what the cost seg company is likely getting at is that if you do a cost seg on a property the losses generated by the cost seg will be passive losses and thus can only offset other passive income (as opposed to active income such as w2 income), unless you are somehow able to get shift the losses from the cost seg to qualify as active losses. There are two primary means to have the losses from the cost seg qualify as active losses. First, you can qualify as a real estate professional.

First Property and it has tenants
Hi there, I just closed on my first property. It's a duplex and currently has tenants. Both of the tenants are moving out in the next two weeks and neither of them gave a 30 day notice to the previous property manager. It is stated in their previous lease that if they didn't give a 30 day notice they would forfeit their deposit. Does that carry over to me? Should I have them sign my lease for the week or two that they're living in the house before they move out?

Becoming a technical founder (without a software background)
Joining me is an investment banker who decided he wanted to start a software company. But instead of going online and finding a technical co-founder to do all the work, he spent two years learning how to code. Ryan Coon is the co-founder of Avail, which simplifies property management for independent landlords. In this interview we’re going to hear the entire story of how he built it up to how he sold it to Realtor.com.
A Night with Dum Luv
Lights flicker across each member of Dum Luv. The heavy beat of the drums indicate the start of another original song. The lead guitarist trickles in a quick rift prior to a fully developed melody. A steady rhythm from the bass trails the drums in anticipation of the coming lyrics. Slowly, Dante Rhymes approaches the mic. With one final breath, hours of practice, persistence and passion are exhaled into the mic as he begins singing.
How The Trade War Will Impact Rent Prices
You don’t have to dig too deep to see how the Trump administration’s tariffs on China will likely impact the real estate industry. But the picture gets a little more complicated when you consider residential rental properties in particular.

How to Make Your Rebrand Boring (In a Good Way)
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Ever heard something described as "never boring"? This is usually code for "things are constantly going wrong and I am constantly scrambling to fix them." While that can make for good TV, it's not what we wanted when we decided to rebrand our company last fall. Related: Why You Should Launch a Brand, Not a Product To be clear: I didn't want our new brand to be boring; I wanted the process of conversion to be boring. Predictable. Secure.
Four Creative Ways To Finance A Rental Property Purchase
The traditional path to buying an investment property is to save money for a down payment, then get a mortgage to cover the rest. But that’s not the only path. From time to time, I get questions from the landlords who use Avail about how they can finance a rental property if they don’t have enough in the bank for a down payment. Here are the four strategies I suggest considering. This involves getting a loan from the person you’re buying the property from.
When Is It The Right Time To Sell Your Rental Property?
One of the smartest things you can do as a real estate investor is to get into the habit of periodically evaluating your options: buy, hold or sell. This is especially true if you’re building your real estate portfolio as a primary investment vehicle that you’re hoping will fuel your children’s education or your retirement.
Here's How To Start Catering To Boomer Renters -- And Why It's A Must
When we talk about renting, we often make the assumption that it’s a young person’s game. The accepted narrative of American life is that you rent until you’ve got enough money for a down payment, then you buy a home and you’re a homeowner until you die. The reality is different — and has been for a while. For decades now, aging adults have been selling their homes and moving into assisted living facilities or nursing homes as they come to need help with daily living activities.
Juggling Real Estate Investments And A Full-Time Job
Last year, more than three-quarters of independent landlords in the U.S. told us they worked a full- or part-time job in addition to their work as a property owner. So if you own an investment property, there’s a pretty good chance you’re also working a day job. And because of that, there’s also a good chance you’ve run into trouble trying to get everything done. I’ve been there.
How To Make Paying Rent A Better Investment For Your Tenants
If you’re an independent landlord, you understand how important it is to have good renters. Reliable, responsible, communicative tenants make being a landlord easy and rewarding — and tenants who don’t have these characteristics can make it difficult and expensive. So how can you increase your odds of attracting the best tenants? By making renting a better investment for them. One of the easiest ways to do that is to invest in technology that lets you report rent payments to a credit bureau.
The New Tax Law Has Made It a Great Time to Invest in Real Estate. Here's How to Get the Most From Your Investment.
Paying attention to both the investment and operational sides of the business will make it a success. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Changes in the new tax law mean it's a great time to invest in real estate. Between lower effective tax rates for LLCs, potential drops in property prices in coastal markets and fewer tax incentives tied to home ownership, DIY landlords have an extra edge they didn't last year.
3 ways the new tax law could make being a landlord more profitable
By Ryan Coon, CEO and co-founder of Rentalutions While the unusually fast push-through of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act raised eyebrows around the country, potential real estate investors have reason to cheer now that it's passed. The law, which will affect the taxes we file for 2018 (meaning those we submit in 2019) through 2025, includes several provisions that could make being a landlord more profitable than ever. Here are highlights of the changes that are likely to have the greatest impact.

Despite Alarmist Headlines, The Rental Market Is Just Fine
In November, following a Census Bureau report that homeownership had inched up, MSN ran an article noting that the move had sent a “chill” through the rental market — and blaming millennials, of course. I get it, news outlets have to publish something. But this particular piece seemed more than slightly alarmist, for many reasons.
This Simplistic Ad Is A Reminder That It's Time To Redefine The American Dream
I recently saw an ad from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) that I found deeply problematic. The ad features a picture of the Capitol with the superimposed slogan, “Do we want to be a nation of homeowners or a nation of renters?” Clearly part of the NAR’s lobbying efforts around the tax reform proposals being addressed now in Congress, the ad is problematic for three major reasons.
