Meanwhile, the greenback rallied toward a three-month high today as traders mulled the possibility of higher-for-longer interest rates ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium later today.

I thought I follow-up this week with rental income tax tips for those of you that are landlords or considering becoming landlords. For tax purposes you need to be sure you document all your money coming in and going out of the rental property. That means giving receipts and keeping copies of the rent payments you collect. Keep in mind that generally you must report rental income on your tax return in the year you actually receive it. If you collect some advanced rent, such as someone paying two or three months’ rent upfront, you would again report this for taxes in the year you receive the payment, regardless of when that rent would’ve been due.Now security deposits are handled a bit differently. Like income when you receive a security deposit, you need to record it and provide a receipt. But if you plan to return the deposit to the tenant at the end of the lease, it is not income. So you do not report it on your tax return. If in the end you keep part or all of the security deposit because your tenant doesn’t live up to the terms of the lease, then you would report the amount you kept as income that year. If your tenant gives you property or services instead of money as rent, you need to include the fair market value of the property or services as rental income. Also, if the tenant pays any of your expenses than those payments are also rental income. In this case you record what the tenant paid as income, and then claim the expense on your taxes as well.Generally, the expense of renting your property out like maintenance, repairs, insurance, property taxes, interest if you have a mortgage on the property, advertising for new tenants can be deducted from your rental income which lowers the amount of income you have to pay income taxes on. One area that can be confusing especially to new landlords, is how to treat improvements to the property for tax purposes, as opposed to maintenance and repair. One way to look at whether something is a repair or not is ask yourself if what needs to be done makes the property livable, but doesn’t increase the value of the property. Good examples are repairing holes in the wall from nails, unclogging a drain, or fixing the leak in a roof.One way to know if something is an improvement rather than a repair is whether or not it improves the value of the property. If it does or it way extends the life of the property, then it is considered a long-term asset and deducted over years instead of all at once. Improvements can be things like replacing a roof, renovating the interior, or replacing a heat pump instead of fixing it. So for example having a repairman come out to fix a broken washing machine is repair. Buying a new washing machine is an improvement. The key difference for tax purposes as the entire cost of a repair can be deducted as an expense in the year you do it. The cost of improvements cannot be deducted as an expense all at once. You have to claim part of the expense each year over the life of the improvement. This is called depreciation. Different improvements are depreciated over different lengths of time which are set by the IRS. And there are extra forms to fill out with your taxes for each improvement. In addition to improvements, the price you paid for the rental property (not including the value of the land it sits on) is also depreciated. In this case for 27 ½ years. So each year you will claim depreciation for the rental property itself, as well as each of the improvements you make, each on its own timeline. This can be a bit complicated and this would be a good time to discuss it with the CPA. Or if you still want to do your own taxes, dive into IRS publication 527, Residential Rental Property.

Depreciate is a verb that means to lower in honor or value. Our word of the day comes from the Latin word pretium (PRAY tee um) which means ‘price.’ With the addition of the prefix D-E, we get a word that means to ‘lower’ the price of value. The word can be used to refer to the value of a number of things, for example: I don’t think it was a good idea to have a pet tiger in our living room. I’m afraid that the damage he’s done will cause our home to depreciate in value. After all, walls and floors that have been scratched and chewed up tend to be worth less on the market.

In this episode Ryan discusses how a home can appreciate in value and how as a home owner you can take action to make sure your home appreciates rather than depreciate in value and the other factors that could change a home's value.

Have you ever heard of cost segregation? Well neither had we until Ian Horowitz  (co-host on this Real Estate Reserve Podcast) told me about it earlier this week.  Don't quote us on this but he explained it to me like this... We came across a tax strategy called, cost segregation. This simple strategy can help reduce your tax basis on your rental properties and even retail businesses! Cost segregation allows you to advance depreciation on parts of your assets that ultimately reduce your overall taxable income. We were interested and decided to invite Jerry Lotz of CSSI onto our live podcast today. His firm specializes in the cost segregation strategy. We will be doing a case study on how it works along with discussing the recent tax benefit that was passed in the Cares Act! We already told him that we never pitch or sell anything to our podcast s so he knows its strictly for sharing a new concepts and ideas that you can utilize in your real estate portfolio. We don't personally have any experience with this concept yet so will be learning as we go through it. Tune in now to learn about Cost Segregation  

Now whether to depreciate your rental property or not and how much depends on your personal situation. Consult your accountant for more information as your accountant knows better about your financial situation. When you have to depreciate your building, consider this: Rental property owners use depreciation to deduct the costs of buying and improving a property. Depreciation starts as soon as the property is placed in service or available to use as a rental. Only the value of the building can be depreciated; you can't depreciate land because it will never be "used up." To deduct rental expenses from any rental income you earn, thereby lowering your tax liability. To learn more about this topic, Watch my Facebook Live Video here. Now during this unprecedented time, we know that there would be many more opportunities in the market to buy rental properties. Some people are already started looking and working to close the deal. I know one of my student signed a deal via a zoom meeting. There are ways you can still buy properties. All you need is your commitment to work for it, to achieve your financial goal for this year.

Appreciate or Depreciate in Vayishlach by Rabbi Daniel Kalish

What kind of returns can a passive multifamily real estate investor expect? What if you could double your money in just five or six years? And pay little or nothing in the way of taxes? Jan Larson spent 25 years in the high-stress world of semiconductor development, most recently working for Amazon. He had always been interested in real estate investing but did not want to deal with 3AM phone calls about clogged toilets. Five years ago, a colleague introduced him to a passive investing opportunity, and Jan was hooked. Today, he has invested in 28 multifamily deals involving 34 properties, and in January, Jan had enough passive income to quit his job. On this episode, Jan joins me to discuss how his life has changed since he quit his job through passive investing in multifamily. He explains how living through the stock market meltdowns in 2000 and 2008 inspired him to diversify with apartment buildings, describing what he loves most about multifamily and sharing the returns passive investors can expect. Listen in for Jan’s advice on how to get started with passive investing and learn how he evaluates deals based on the sponsor and the submarket!

HDB flats may better withstand depreciation effects over private property, according to a study by the National University of Singapore. The study’s co-author Prof Sumit Agarwal from the NUS Business School shares his insights on why this is so and what this means for homeowners.

Olivier von Argent crossed her arms and frowned, looking down at the thing that had once been her, sprawled among broken jars and scattered sundries."Oh, this won't do at all," she said. "There's still so much left to do.""THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO DO," said a voice from the shadows beside her. "SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO IT NOW."Olivier turned to the figure beside her and sighed. Already the tension of the day was leaving her, a spring uncoiling after a lifetime of tautness. But still:"What if they do it wrong, without me there to guide them?""THAT WILL BE THEIR CONCERN, NOT YOURS. YOU HAVE WORKED HARD. YOU HAVE EARNED REST."Olivier worried at her lip, glancing down at her body even as she drifted towards the figure."There will still be parties where we're going, won't there? I'm a very good event planner, you know. I would hate for my talents to... Depreciate."The figure tilted its head at her. Beneath the voluminous shadows of its hood, Olivier thought she saw the barest glimpse of a smile; but then, of course, she supposed skulls were always smiling. The figure held out its hand, and Olivier took it."MY LADY ADORES A GOOD PARTY."This week on Roll Dice and Cry: Do I want to involve anybody else?Cast:Zachary Fredrickson (@obfuscatinggod)Mari Costa (@marinscos)Emily Riesbeck (@thebluevalkyrie)Chander (@chanderclear)Amy Sloan (@effsie) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I received comments from a friend recently who told me - Stop saying things in your podcast like - maybe you don’t agree, maybe don’t like this, don’t laugh, don’t say or act in a way that may discount all the positive things you do.  You already sound humble, relatable and you don’t come across cocky or condescending.  After all, If they don’t like your message and don’t agree, they would not be listening. When using self-deprecating talk be sure you are not minimizing your strengths.   It is ok to connect through your human side, but don’t minimize your talents and abilities. You don’t need to make yourself small to encourage others to enlarge.

Welcome to Money Tips Daily this is Money Kelly bringing you money tips to help you save and make more money! As the weekend kicks in, you may be planning to go shopping for an expensive item or something for the house. The Money Tips Daily tip for today is: Never borrow on loans or expensive credit cards for consumer goods or things that decrease in value. I’m not saying don’t use a credit card, which gives you additional consumer protection in the event of a problem or the company going out of business before you receive ordered goods. Consumers who ordered beds on their credit cards from Warren Evans, which went bust in the last week, should receive a refund from the card company, whilst those who paid with a debit card or in cash have little chance of seeing their money again. Using a credit card is fine provided you pay off the balance before interest is charged. If not, the effects of high interest rates on credit cards and personal loans will hold you back financially for years

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0216 And It Will Be About Unique High-Profit Contractors Count All Their Income  The Ripple Effect Of Not Counting All Your Income Happens When You Go To The Bank For A Loan You need to be able to show the bank that you have enough sales to pay back the loan. For most contractors, an excessive amount of profit is NOT an issue. There are always more than enough expenses that happen naturally in your Construction Company. And there are always tools that need to be purchased, repaired or replaced. As 2017 tax season is finishing, I have heard from owners and employees who say. This Income or That Income doesn’t count. The fact is it all Counts. The underground economy may be there but don’t count on the information being a secret. Between Memberships, rewards cards and using a credit card purchases are being tracked everywhere by somebody. (Some contractors think buying a truck for cash is not traceable). Play it straight, report all of your construction company income and if your QuickBooks setup is done right and the bookkeeping entries are clean more often than not you may get a big fat tax refund! Merchant Service providers are required to issue 1099’s This means every time you use a debit or credit card the amount, date, place of purchase is recorded and the grand total for the year is reported to the IRS. Web-based services (E-Bay) are required to issue 1099’s is earning are over a certain amount. Casino’s issue 1099’s is winnings are over a certain amount. Construction Company Owner’s issue 1099’s and finally there is a Nanny Tax on household help. Tax Reporting Is Everywhere You Win When You “Play Within The Rules” This Means Don't Cheat Your Own Future, Count All Of Your Income  Keep track of all your expenses. Have a good bookkeeping system to calculate the difference between Profit And Loss. Invest is good tools and equipment. Depreciate the high-value items like cars, trucks, vans, tools, equipment and expensive software. We have found that a Professional Version of Construction Accounting software like QuickBooks and Professional cloud-based services have additional value to be worth more than the “Cheap Price” of something less. This does not mean that all expensive software and apps are the Perfect choices based on a High Price – if it is useful, then it may be the “Better Value.” A tiny pickup truck based on price is cheap. But if you need an 8’ bed and are hauling lots of “Heavy Things” than it is cheap but not the best value as a ¾ Ton or 1-Ton Truck would be. Contractors at all stages of their Construction Company have to be price and value conscience. It may be a shock to some, but cash flow issues happen to everyone at some stage in their Construction Company. All it takes is for a few customers with “large invoices” outstanding to delay payments for a long time, and you are experiencing a “Cash Crunch.” Unsigned or forgotten Change Orders can also be a problem. Forget the customer who promises “If you give them a good price on this project – they have several more jobs waiting for you.” (so that you can lose even more money).Click Here to download our FREE Change Order Form on PDF. The challenge for all contractors is How Much to charge for their product and services to make a profit. Picking a Price Point that is fair to both parties. The goal is to always Provide Good Quality Work. Frustration comes when the person they are working for wants to “Nik Them A Little,” then “A Little More” and still expect that The Contractor to be a willing rush to their project, eager to put in another day and do even more “Extras For Free” - Answer is Usually Not! Give Good Value Many new contractors provide “Handyman Services” a low cost to get the additional experience and to show they have clients. Helping The Grandmother down the street and all her friends. This is different from working for a Builder / Developer and discovering they built the house for practically “free.” If you are required to Collect Sales Tax – be sure to have it spelled out in the contract as Plus Sales Tax after the subtotal. Almost everywhere in Washington State sales tax is 10%. Just missing a little thing like charging the Sales Tax (repeatedly) could be the difference between a profitable year or having a loss. Think about the benefits of Flat Rate, Bid Jobs and Time and Material Billing. I know of contractors who refuse to Mark Up Material and do not charge labor to go get the material. If The Contractor’s Labor Rate is high enough this might not be a problem. Many times, when the customer does not want to pay a markup – they also are also looking for ways to complain about the price of material and try to deduct some hours from the invoice. After all – how cool is FREE? A couple of years ago, I had a Homeowner come to my office The Homeowner was very up front that she was trying to figure out a way to not pay the contractor the final invoice. The Homeowner was certain that there must be a way to find a massive discount and avoid paying the final bill. Because we do Construction Accounting, the Homeowner wanted my help to review all the invoices to find anything that would allow deductions. She was very unhappy the work passed inspections, and the Permits were all written off. Contractors need to write clear estimates, contracts, be sure to send Notice To Owners to protect their Lien Rights.

Take Credit Cards from the mainstream processor. Discount for cash if it makes sense. Get Paid - Move On. Count All The Money as Income. A customer’s tip is $20.00 – Even that is Other income on an invoice. It’s the habit. And Good Habit’s will be better for you in the long run. Our parents and grandparents had many “Old Fashioned Saying.” When you think about it – Their sayings usually made sense without being offensive or overbearing while saying them. My Father’s favorite saying was “Tend To Your Knitting” meaning “Keep Focused – Don’t Get Distracted.” My Brother’s is “Don’t Stop” he lives in the country, and they tend to move “Big Things” down a narrow road. For a Contractor in the city, it would mean “If it’s working – keep doing it” (Think Marketing) It annoyed our children when Randal and I would speak in shorthand referencing a movie or a book. Now that they are older – they “Get The Humor” and “The Lesson.” For most of us, our parents and grandparents got smarter the older we got. They let us spread our wings and tried new things. Being a Contractor is like that. Having an idea, a dream and willing to “Go For It” (with the support of others) There is no book with the perfect answers to all the “What If” and “What About Questions” What makes a good client for one contractor is not necessarily a good client for another. The same is for employees. Not all people are a “Good Fit.” for your construction contracting company. Every Contractor will need and want a new(er) truck at some point. Bankers like to see Good, Clean Financial Statements. You may know all of your numbers in your head. It is hard to tell a Banker you make a lot of money and can support the loan if all your statement shows are $10,000 in sales for the year. Written on a piece of notebook paper it is not as believable as coming from QuickBooks, and your sales are much higher, and your net income is $10,000.00. The banker can look at “Why” and see if the numbers can be moved around to make sense. The Banker may need to Explain Your Numbers To A Loan Committee who does not know you. Many Bankers really do want to “Say Yes” and give you the loan. We Can Help “A Little” or “A Lot” Depending on your needs.
