If you want a great house in a prime location but need a little extra rental income to pull it off, this new listing at 449 6th Street just might be the ticket. The four-story brownstone is divided up into two duplexes. The listing doesn’t say what one of them would rent for, but we’re guessing around $4,500. With rates where they are, that should help cover almost a million bucks of your mortgage. Given the asking price of $2,300,000, that should get you almost halfway there to covering your monthly mortgage nut.

chicken, you’re starting to sound like BHO. This place may actually be attractive to someone who wants to buy a home…whatever additional income it provides probably won’t make or break the deal.
The kitchen and the shower curtain will.
you’re all missing the bigger picture:
if $4,500 is all that one of the duplexes can rent for then this place is waaaaay too expensive…

Alright, I’ll buy the drink.
Chill out, will ya?
Benson, when it comes to this tax stuff, I rely on the tax software.
DIBS,
I do find it logically hard to believe one can net losses on that rental against ordinary income on an uncapped basis.

I’m not trying to break chops. I sold an investment property in 2005, and my accountant was adamant about this point (He’s a professor!).

Those who can’t, teach.
No professor knows the tax code like a practicing CPA & CFP.
You owe me a drink.

He’s not only a CPA but he’s a CFP. He’s not wrong, benson just because you find some anonymous post on a blog from some guy from Missouri and think you’re right.
Gimmie a fucking break. He’s a CPA.
I sold an investment property in 2005 and that’s the way the accumulated losses were treated. I remember specifically because it worked out great because I had a huge bonus paid that year.
DIBS;
Find yourself a new accountant: he is wrong. We need to settle via 3rd party.
