I was curious to see anyones input who has gone through the whole Buy, Rent, Sell process in terms of the benefits of renting investment properties in respect to taxes.
What kind of benefits does one achieve when it comes to doing taxes (pertaining to investment properties of course)?
Yes, I know that interest is a write off, but what other kinds of tips in terms of tax write off`s do you guys have to offer?
On the flipside, what are the drawbacks of renting out your investment property tax wise (In respect to personal residences)?
Are there any notable differences or benefits, tax wise, to which province you reside in?
Also, in terms of DO`s and DON`T, what kind of advice would you give to a first time investor?
What were your biggest mistakes and successes when first getting into real estate investments?
And finally, slightly off topic; what piece of literature, relevant to Canadian real estate, would you recommend for a first time investor?
Thanks in advance to any input. Your time is greatly appreciated.
