“Many real estate investment strategies used prior to 2007 are not nearly as advantageous after the most recent legislative and judicial tax changes. This book dramatically reveals the new tax dos and, as importantly, the new tax don'ts when investing in real estate...which tax strategies are still relevant and which new strategies should be adopted...now!” states Vern, in the opening of the Fifth Edition of his acclaimed tax guide.


The Real Estate Investor’s Tax Guide helps you build a strong – and profitable – foundation for your real estate investments, whether they’re large portfolios or a single home. If you own real estate and want to use current real estate tax laws to your advantage, this is your best reference.

In clear, simple language, Vern takes the complicated area of tax law and boils it down into helpful, understandable topic areas. You’ll find:

    • New! The fifth edition includes discussions on dealer versus investor, cost segregation and tax-related issues.
    • Real-world examples bring the complicated areas of tax law to life.
    • A chapter on real estate's troubled times emphasizes cancellation of debt, foreclosure, and repossession.
    • Math formulas and solutions illustrate each area of real estate investment and taxation.
    • Investor Hints and Tax Tips provide hundreds of useful suggestions for maximizing profits.
    • Illustrations clearly depict two-party and multiple-party tax-free exchanges.
    • Cautionary Comments help the real estate investor avoid complications and legal risks.

This book provides a complete explanation of how current tax law affects homeowners and real estate investors. Featured in this Edition:

    • Taxation of Profit
    • How Gains or Losses are Computed
    • Capital Gains Taxation
    • Tax Due on Foreclosure or Repossession
    • The $250,000/$500,000 MFJ Exclusion Rule for Gain on Sale of Principal Residence
    • Installment Sales
    • Tax-Free Exchanges
    • Minimum Requirements for an Exchange
    • The Home Mortgage Interest Deduction
    • Depreciation
    • Office-in-Home Rules
    • The Purchase and Operation of a Passive Activity
    • Applying the Passive Loss Rules to Real Estate Professionals
    • The Disposition of Passive Activities
    • Dealer Versus Investor

“This is obviously a dry subject & reading the manuals & guidelines can sometimes give one a headache. But with this book no aspirin is needed. This book should be required reading before you get your real estate investor secret decoder ring. I recommend this book highly in all the real estate courses I teach & sometimes use it as a prize in classroom games. Whether you are a real estate investor or agent you should read this book & keep it near your desk.
