Owning rental property can be a powerful way to build long-term wealth—but understanding potential tax considerations is just as important as day-to-day operations. While Oracle Property Solutions does not provide tax or legal advice, we help ensure your financial records are organized, accurate, and ready for your tax professional.
Below is an informational overview of common rental property expenses owners often review with their CPA or tax advisor. Always consult a qualified tax professional to determine what applies to your specific situation. ✅
🏠 Common Rental Property Expenses Owners Often Ask About
🔧 Repairs & Maintenance
Routine costs associated with maintaining a rental property are commonly discussed with tax professionals, including:
Plumbing or electrical repairs
HVAC servicing
Painting between tenants

When preparing a property for a new tenant, owners often incur expenses such as:
Professional cleaning

Lock changes
Marketing and advertising
Leasing or placement fees
These costs are typically reflected in owner statements and year-end summaries.
