    @Tzook Bar Noy investment real estate, unlike equipment, is not used in your trade or business and the acquisition cost cannot be written off in the first year. Instead, you recover your costs via depreciation.

    So to answer your, no you cannot write off the cost of real estate to reduce business profits.
