How Tax Benefits from Passive Real Estate Investments Can Boost Your Portfolio in 2025

If you're an accredited investor in Utah, 2025 may be your most strategic year yet to take advantage of real estate investment tax benefits. With changes in the tax code and time-sensitive deductions beginning to phase out, understanding how these benefits can boost your portfolio is essential.

At Streamline Capital Group, we specialize in helping investors like you maximize passive income through multifamily real estate while leveraging powerful tax incentives to create infinite returns.

Why Taxes Should Be a Key Part of Your Investment Strategy

Unlike many other asset classes, real estate is uniquely favored by the IRS. Real estate tax benefits for investors include deductions, depreciation, deferrals, and even tax-free growth under certain conditions. In 2025, these advantages can dramatically reduce your taxable income while growing your long-term wealth.

Top Real Estate Investment Tax Benefits in 2025

1. Accelerated Depreciation (Cost Segregation)

Multifamily properties qualify for accelerated depreciation, especially when using a cost segregation study. Instead of depreciating your property over 27.5 years, this strategy allows portions of the building to depreciate over 5, 7, or 15 years. The result? A massive upfront tax deduction in the first few years of ownership.

Pro Tip: Investors in value-add properties—like the ones Streamline acquires—can benefit even more from these studies because of renovation-related write-offs.

2. Bonus Depreciation: Use It Before It’s Gone

In 2025, bonus depreciation continues to phase down from the previous 100% rate. This year, it's capped at 40%, dropping to 20% in 2026 before being phased out entirely. If you’re planning to invest, this is your last window to capitalize on this generous deduction.

3. 1031 Exchanges: Keep More Capital Working

Selling one investment property and reinvesting in another via a 1031 Exchange allows you to defer capital gains tax. When done correctly, you can compound wealth over decades without paying taxes on each transaction. This is a powerful strategy to keep your portfolio growing while minimizing your tax exposure.

4. Passive Income Tax Shield

When you invest in real estate, the income you earn is considered passive income, and depreciation and expenses often offset it. That means you can earn a monthly cash flow with little to no tax liability.

5. Real Estate Professional Status (REPS)

If you or your spouse qualify as a real estate professional under IRS rules, losses from your investments can offset active income, like a salary or business income. While this is not for everyone, it’s a major advantage for high-income families looking to reduce their tax bills.

What This Means for Utah Investors

If you're a senior executive, business owner, or high-net-worth individual living in Utah, these strategies are designed for you. At Streamline Capital Group, we target value-add multifamily properties (C+ to B-) in high-growth areas along the Wasatch Front, where demand remains strong, and supply is tight.

Our approach is simple:

• Acquire undervalued multifamily properties

• Renovate and improve performance

• Refinance and return your capital

• Hold long-term for infinite returns and income

And throughout this process, you enjoy real estate tax benefits that work for your portfolio, not against it.

Now Is the Time to Act

As bonus depreciation phases out and tax reform discussions heat up, 2025 is a critical window to secure the best tax position possible. Whether you’re planning for retirement, growing your legacy, or just looking to increase your after-tax yield, multifamily real estate is the most tax-efficient investment vehicle available.
