Depreciation
A tax deduction that lets you write off the cost of a rental property over 27.5 years. On a $150,000 property (land excluded), that is roughly $4,364/year in paper losses that reduce your taxable income even though you did not spend cash. Depreciation is one of the biggest tax advantages of owning rental property. Talk to your CPA about cost segregation for accelerated depreciation.
