Hi there,
We are currently renting our first property and we are wondering what to do with the rental excess each month
Should we put it off our new PPR?
Should we put it into a pension?
What's the most tax efficient/smart way to make the most of this money
here are the facts:
Monthly rental income 1200eur
Interest Only mortgage Payment 720eur (having read posts here on this site we decided to do this)
We are registered with PRTB
So far we have not spent a penny apart from to put some of the income off our management fees for 2007 (approx 400eur)
And an aside: The tenancy began in Sept 07, can we put the full amount of the management fees for the year (approx 1000) against the rental income? or would it have to be portioned out against the length of the tenacy eg (1000/12) * 4 and that being the max you could offset against the rental income?
Any help/advice will be appreciated and even if there are sites I can do further reading that would be great (although please don't point me to Revenue.ie I find it impossible to understand )
