Buying Property For Tax Write-Offs

Question: Should I buy investment property for the tax write-offs?

Answer: No.

Property should NOT be bought for tax purposes alone. If properties are not now appreciating or producing a positive cash flow, then tax write-offs will hold little worth.

If properties are now losing money each month but can be turned around on a reasonable basis, say by making improvements that lead to higher rents, then the story may be different.
