Appreciation & Tax Benefits
How your value grows — and why cash flow often looks like a loss on paper.
Property appreciation
- API-driven valuations update monthly using MLS-level comps and appraisal-grade data.
- A 10% rise in market value shows as a 10% bump in your dashboard holdings; because of leverage, that 10% may instead be 30-40% to your portfolio depending on “loan-to-value” (LTV).
Depreciation & K-1s
- Each property LLC passes through income and expenses to investors.
- Depreciation (27.5-yr schedule) is a non-cash deduction that can offset or exceed rental income.
- At tax time you receive a Schedule K-1 for each property — download it right from your dashboard.
Example: You pocket $500 in cash flow but a $600 depreciation write-off shows a $100 passive loss on your K-1. Cash in hand, loss on paper.
