Disadvantages of Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) 1031 Exchange Replacement Properties
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) are an increasingly popular investment vehicle for those seeking attractive passive investment opportunities. A sponsor creates a DST using Delaware’s unique trust regulations to design a pre-packaged offering for investors. DSTs often focus on specific real estate sectors and include assets that a typical investor could not purchase individually.
What Is The Rate Of Return Of A Delaware Statutory Trust?
Unlike a direct real estate investment, investing in a DST is less complicated. There isn’t any rehab that investors must spend money on. There are no closing costs. The cost-basis is easy to figure out. All of that helps simplify the Delaware Statutory Trust rate of return (RoR) calculation. In this article, we’ll dig into what you need to know about calculating the RoR on a DST.
Are HOA Fees Tax Deductible?
If you’re looking at properties, you may notice some houses and condos for sale have HOA fees in their listings. You might be wondering if HOA fees are mandatory, how often they need to be paid, what the fees cover, and if you can deduct HOA fees from your taxes. HOA payments are an added cost to consider when making your monthly housing budget.
Ways to Offset Capital Gains
Profiting from the sale of an investment, such as rental property, land, or stock shares, will generate a capital gains tax liability.
Can I Deduct Supplemental Property Tax?
Whether you own your own home (and use it as a primary residence) or own investment properties, you understand one thing. Namely, state and local property taxes can generally be deducted from your federal income taxes. While the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 caps those deductions at $10,000 (or $5,000 if you are married and filing separately), the deductions can be used to help offset your income. The result is a potentially lower tax burden.
Where Do You Record Unrealized Gains and Losses?
Investments that have increased in value and are sold for profit generate realized gains, which are subject to capital gains taxes. Unrealized gains, on the other hand, are gains on paper that won’t be taxed unless you sell the investment for a profit.
