Personal residences now offer more tax shelter

Article Abstract:

Personal residences have long been used as a low-risk investment by taxpayers since they often generate a profitable after-tax return. Regulations issued in 1997 have made these investments even more attractive, particularly for leveraged taxpayers. After-tax returns, however, are not as attractive if these residences are expensive enough to require large loans since interest rates on such high-end houses are higher, and because interest deductions are capped at the first million of debt. Guidelines are provided for tax advisors who are planning housing investments for clients.
