Have you noticed the resurgence in popularity of rooms dedicated just for the guys? Affectionately monikered as “man caves,” more and more homeowners are planning and designing a room, or suite of rooms, specifically for the man of the house. While family game rooms or media rooms have been in use for decades, the trend has been shifting away from a universal play area for the whole family, into a retreat created specifically with the man’s interests, hobbies and
accomplishments in mind… a room that’s all about him. And it’s about time. Often, the man in the house may be willing to “give up rights” in the rest of the home as long as he can have this one special space all to himself. And the woman of the house seems to count it as a fair trade-off – “One room for you, 20 for me!” The whole concept of a men’s retreat is to create a getaway where he can escape to pursue his favorite interests, entertain his friends and know that he is
One of the most important aspects of real estate investing is taking advantage of all of the tax benefits that are available to investors. These write-offs can make or break your success. In today’s market, there are thousands of real estate owners that hadn’t intended on becoming an investor. As many sellers have wearied of attempting to sell their home, they’ve resigned to renting it instead. It’s this group of people that might be losing money if they aren’t aware of the tax deductions they should be taking. “Basically, I tell clients to run their real estate property as though it’s a business,” says Scott R. Bell, CPA. “We see a lot of clients just trying to sell their place but it often ends up becoming a rental. Once you step out of a property and it becomes a rental, anything that comes out of your pocket, whether it’s HOA fees or a fresh coat of paint, can be a deduction.” To begin, keep a record of all expenses you incur from the property. These will include repairs, maintenance, cleaning, landscaping, pool services, pest control, supplies, association fees, trash removal fees and utilities. Other deductions include the mortgage interest, insurance premiums, local property taxes, management fees, advertising, professional fees, rental of equipment, and any rents you have paid to others. Travel expenses to and from your property, which may include
the master of his domain. From top-of-the-line offices and libraries for executives, to over-the-top game rooms, men are seeking out a space they can call their own. A man’s interests should be the inspiration for this special space. Wine cellars, cigar rooms, video game rooms, sports lounges, shooting ranges….you name it, it’s a possibility. Much of today’s society revolves around playing and having fun. Sports-themed game rooms are often requested. Imagine a room full of collectible sports paraphernalia with multiple plasma TVs, billiards, poker, darts, even foosball and vintage arcade games. Most men still have a little boy not so far below the surface – and boys love to play. For some, the more toys the better! And the type of toys that make most men weak in the knees? Technological gadgets. Men’s retreats are the perfect place to integrate the coolest and latest technological innovations. The largest and latest in TVs, an awesome surround-sound system, iPod stations, integrated A/V and home automation systems…these are all standard in many dream rooms. Ever been in a nightclub that was just so cool? From the ingenious lighting, to the sleek suede furnishings, to the music pounding through killer speakers; that’s often the inspiration for many men. You
two out-of-state trips per year are also deductions. However, if you mix business with pleasure you must be prepared to prove with documentation what percentage of the trip was spent maintaining the rental and what percentage was personal, taking only the deductions for the business side. Casualty damage to your property, if properly documented, is another deduction. These may include acts of nature, theft, vandalism or unfortunate circumstances that cause any damage to the real estate. Tax preparation costs for the Schedule E form (for rental properties) are also a deduction. Property owners can also take advantage of depreciation deductions by either writing off all of the value over 27.5 years, or by examining the assets within the property that are short-life expenses and deduct those on a yearly basis. For example, if you installed a new heating system with a depreciation schedule of ten years you could deduct one-tenth of the cost of the system per year for the next decade. Keep in mind though that according to the IRS, there’s a big difference between improvements and repairs. The cost of improvements to the property must be depreciated over their useful lives (which are defined by the IRS), rather than deducted in the year paid. The cost of repairs can be written off in the year you pay them. These tax deductions are all meant to help offset any rental income that a property owner might receive. Although in some cases, homeowners are renting their property with a negative monthly cash-flow. That loss is, of course, a write-off as well.
can integrate design elements and features that mimic a favorite place. For many men, their dream space doesn’t incorporate loud music and multiple TVs. A quiet place for privacy and creative thinking is the perfect retreat for some. While some men would prefer a trophy cabinet to display their sports accomplishments, others may revel in a room that displays special artwork, favorite moments in history or their business awards and accolades. Perhaps a private entrance, a private bath and a well-stocked refreshment station can round it all out. The number-one priority in creating a man’s private space is remembering that the room should capture the essence of him and his personality. These rooms are a form of selfexpression telling the world who they are, what they love and what they’ve accomplished. No matter what the man’s interests may be, it’s important that the room provides plenty of comfort and convenience. Men like to be able to put their feet up, know that no one will be fussing about the cleanliness (or lack thereof) of their room and know that they can escape to their favorite place at a moment’s notice. Let’s hear it for the boys!
The ideal scenario for investors, Bell says, is to break even with homeowners taking some tax benefit. “Ninety-nine percent of all property owners put money into their rentals but at least they are getting some tax advantage,” he explains. It’s when the rental is not being rented for whatever reason that things can become complicated. “However, if the property is not rented you can still write off the interest and property taxes so you don’t totally lose out,” Bell explains. Several websites, including turbotax.com cover common rental property deductions. If you’ve found yourself an owner of rental property, be sure to consult a CPA immediately to insure that you’re taking advantage of every tax deduction that you can. Your tax advisor can best aid you and your personal situation.
