How much Could You Profit on Your Rental?
For military families whose mortgage may exceed the home’s value, renting can be a great solution. With rising real estate prices, renting allows you to benefit from market growth. Keep in mind that returns on your property go beyond rent collection:
- Home value appreciation
- Tax deductions for property management fees
- Significant tax breaks for owning rental property
- Tenants paying down your mortgage principal
- Annual rent adjustments to match market trends
