Hi Guys,

Buy and hold stocks is common place, but what will the future of the market look like? Why not invest in real estate instead? Here are some ways that you can make money with investment properties.

1. Interest is all tax-deductible: Yes, all of your mortgage interest is tax deductible. This may not sound like much, but consider at tax time what an impact this could make on our bottom line, especially if you have an interest-only loan or an option-arm where what you are paying out is primarily interest and little principal at all.
2. Depreciation: At tax time you take 1/27.5 depreciation on the value of the real estate you own. It is considered that in 27˝ years that the real estate will have depreciated it's entire value. Again, not significant? Well, consider a single family home priced at $275K. That's and even $10,000 at tax time. Meanwhile your property is actually appreciating in value. Can you say ?Free Money? boys and girls? Let's all go give Alan a great big hug? ?Thanks Mr. Greenspan!?


Regards
Vicki
