Are tech workers as rich as they think we are?
Rental income is taxed as regular income, but only after you take away stuff like mortgage, insurance, maintenance, etc... However, your deductions can not be more than your rent - so you can’t get a larger deduction on your taxes if you don’t charge enough to cover your expenses.
You can't deduct mortgage in full, only intererest. Also PMI and any other insurance and property taxes.
You’re correct. I didn’t mean mortgage, I meant depreciation.
