Friendswood Tip: Rental Property Depreciation
Friendswood and the surrounding Bay Area have an active rental property market. A residential rental property is depreciated over 27.5 years — this non-cash deduction reduces your taxable rental income even when the property is appreciating in value. Couples with AGI under $150,000 who actively manage their rentals can deduct up to $25,000 in losses annually against ordinary income. Are you using this deduction?
