All income to a traditional IRA has the same tax treatment and any earnings will be considered regular income when distributed - whether from stocks or real estate. 

I've been working through Brandon Hall's guide to the treatment of closing costs (link) while finishing up a refinance, and I think I have everything figured out except when he says that some costs are "Added to the cost basis of the property and depreciated".

Hi All - I've seen quite a bit of confusion on the application of the Passive Activity  Loss Rules and Short Term Rentals.  Beyond BP, there is a lot of confusion in the accounting community as well but the same rules...

For those licensed agents out there....when you buy a property for yourself, either personal residence or investment property, you typically receive the buyers agent commission.Is this considered taxable income? Or is...

I don't think there's any excuse for this treatment.

And as of 2018 only real estate itself is eligible for 1031 treatment. 

One could argue that both are assets, but the treatment of both is much different.I wonder why land is treated different?

@Ash Patel so you aren't surprised about potential cap gains and application of 1031 treatment, you might want to check your paperwork now versus waiting until a potential sale and being surprised.I agree with you about how the syndicate is structured could offer 1031 treatment, you may have invested as a TIC (tenants in common).  

I also would make sure the doctor/psychologist puts something in writing stating "(1) Pit Bull" is required for treatment. 

I bought a few window treatments and called it the day.
