My dad and I are looking to buy an investment rental property together and I don’t want his wife to be involved. Can he buy it with me or since they are married and it is communal money, she has to be involved too? The rent would cover his half of the mortgage.

I am really looking to buy cheap and best rental property in UK. Is there any idea from your side?

With all the problems popping up with the economy, and a few horror stories we’ve heard about banks foreclosing on property and the tenants not knowing and not having time to prepare for such actions, we’ve become suspicious of our landlord paying on the rental property where we live.

We know he’s gone through a divorce and we’re wondering if that’s affecting his ability to pay on the properties he owns. We’d ask him in person … but that would be rather awkward.

I start school in feb for respiratory therapy and after that I planned on being a traveling respiratory therapist. But since all my expenses would be paid for by my company. I think a rental property could be a good investment? I am just looking for investment options for extra money? Plus I can always live in the property if I decide to stop traveling
School is 21 months?
actually 15 months but I decide to opt for advance training because that is extra money in your salary.

I just recently purchased my first home, a townhouse. I borrowed k from my 401k to help pay for the closing costs. My concern is this: what are some of the common problems with buying a rental property, once my 401k is paid back? My goal is to have a second property so I can have the tax break from TWO properties. OR, should I take any extra money I get next year and put it towards paying down my second loan (the 20% loan I took out to help avoid paying PMI)?

I am a home owner and am looking into purchasing other rental properties such as duplexes and fourplexes in areas that I know well. I am just getting started and need some guidance. First, should I pull out equity in my current home that I live in to put down on a rental property or just take out a complete mortgage on the new property? I have a realtor in town that I used to buy my home but am looking at a property in another town–should I contact another realtor? And last, I do not have a lot of capital to put up up front to get started (other than equity in my home), what are some other options that could generate some capital?
Thank you and please comment with any and all information.

If my spouse should be admitted to a nursing home, can I protect our rental property investment by removing his name from the deed? Or will the government force me to sell the property to pay for the nursing home?

My wife and I live in a rented apartment in CA and own a home in AZ that we have rented out. Last year our losses on the AZ property (Interest + prop. taxes + repairs + depreciation – rentalincome) was 14K (reported in schedule E and form 6198). Now since our total W2 wages in CA are >150K we can’t deduct the 14K from our adjusted gross income. Question is can this no. be carried forward each year (as losses) and later when we sell the rental investment property can the sum of all these yearly losses be subtracted from the profit we make by selling the rental property?

Also, someone suggested that the smarter thing to do would be to form an LLC and start getting a tax-break from the losses we are making every year. Is that true?
