I rented my place out starting in October of last year, so I only had 3 months on the books...not much benefit.
I've done nothing to the place that cost me money...I replaced a water heater valve that I received from the manufacturer under warranty, and replaced a sink that cracked (also under warranty)....so about an hour or 2 of time invested, but not much else.
I obviously get the mortgage and property tax write off, as well as depreciation, but I don't really have any receipts to claim much of anything as far as repairs go...on either the rental or my current house. How do you make the most of an income property when it comes to tax advantage?
