If your plan is to sell it down the road be careful with depreciation.


Can you explain?

When you sell the property all of the depreciation you took in previous years becomes ordinary income.

Say you have a $200k property and you rent it out for 20 years. You use that property as leverage and take out loans that total $150k. Then you sell it and you owe taxes on nearly $200k and still owe on the loan, so you can end up in the hole. It's called the 1031 trap.
