The main points of the article describes how owning a rental property can have some perks…that is if you can afford to purchase a rental property.

Here are some main points from the article:

  • You can receive income from rent (from owning a rental unit, however not all rental income is profit-take into consideration property taxes, mortgage payments, repairs etc.)
  • Not necessarily a stable income (if the unit remains empty due to major repairs, or un-rented if the rental market is on the slow.)
  • Certain things such as interest, depreciation, repairs, travel or a home office could potentially be deducted from your taxes. 
  • You can be your own boss!
