depreciation base = 250,000, annual depreciation: $ 9090
repair $1000.
Total deduction = 16,000. taxable income = 5000
If you have a loan of 400,000 @ 4%, annual interest = 16000. That would cancel out your taxable income of 5000. You'll get a passive loss of -$8000 that you can carry over for future deduction.

对吗？ 要上今年房客维修少（敲桌子）， 还有什么方法？

似乎矛盾了吧？
我的汤耗子维修很少的，只是平时HD／Lowes的发票我都留着逃税用。
for example
500,000 house,
income: 2000 x 12 = 24000 a year
tax + insurance = 6000,
depreciation base = 250,000, annual depreciation: $ 9090
repair $1000.
Total deduction = 16,000. taxable income = 5000
If you have a loan of 400,000 @ 4%, annual interest = 16000. That would cancel out your taxable income of 5000. You'll get a passive loss of -$8000 that you can carry over for future deduction.
买个好点有增值机会的房子，没有现金流也没关系，用每年的亏损，冲掉其它投资房的净利润，然后可以如法炮制，只要每年所有投资房累计一有净利润，就继续购买新的投资房，买好的投资房，好货一般都会前几年亏损的，所以，这样，你手上积累的投资房都是上好品质的投资房，不是烂房，不用带着手枪去收租。而且长期增值更多，租金更好，属于正循环。

就是买一个米房，一个一米的房一般有2-3万的折旧，买几个米房你的balance sheet就摆平了，不需要交税。当然一般升值盈利会比较显著，找升值快的地方。
房地产说到底是靠折旧在吃饭。
