Since the purpose is spiritual purification rather than economic utility, the expense fails both the ordinary and necessary tests for deductibility.Therefore, it is not a business deduction on your Schedule E, but if you make a donation to a qualified church or religious organization, it may be deductible as a charitable contribution on Schedule A if you itemize.

If your plan is to use a HELOC short-term (say, 6–12 months) to fund BRRRR deals and then cash yourself out with a refinance, an interest-only HELOC absolutely makes sense in most cases.Here’s why:Lower monthly payments: Since you're not paying down principal during the rehab phase, your carrying costs stay minimal—especially helpful if the property isn't cash-flowing yet.Short-term use = less risk from adjustable rates: Most HELOCs have variable rates, but if you're repaying or refinancing out within a year, you're not as exposed to long-term rate hikes.Better cash flow = more flexibility: Lower payments free up cash for rehab, holding costs, or even your next deal.A few things to keep in mind:Make sure your draw period is long enough (typically 10 years), and check if there are any prepayment penalties or required repayment timelines.Have a solid refinance exit strategy—including appraisal comps, rehab timeline, and seasoning rules from your target lender.Watch for lender restrictions—some HELOCs can be frozen or reduced if the market dips or if your credit profile changes.If this is your first BRRRR, consider stress-testing your numbers with a few extra months of holding just in case things go slower than expected (they often do on early projects!).

If not, even though you are a re pro, losses are passive & deductions are limited.There are 7 scenarios that will qualify as material, and you only need to meet one:*500 hours*Substantially all participation*> 100 hrs and at least 1/2*Significant participation*5/10 years*Personal service activity w participation in last 3 years*Continuous participationTo materially participate, you must be involved in the operations of the activity on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis.Once you pass the pro test, the material participation often comes along for the ride.You can elect to aggregate all rental real estate for purposes of measuring material participation under Sec. 1.469-9(g).Your time spent on all your rental properties (STRs don't qualify) counts as one activity, making it easier to materially participate.In order to make a strong case with your CPA and the IRS you need to document your hours.Best practice is an hours log where you are as specific as possible.
