The Carnival of Real Estate is Here!

And since it is tax time, I've decided to pick three entries as winners and divide them according to ease of reading and understanding. I call them the 1040s of real estate.

In third place, we have the 1040EZ. Not great for deductions but it sure gets the job done quickly and easily. And for that, the winner is Rev-N-You for tips on How to Deal with Late Paying Tenants.

In second place, comes the 1040A. Slightly more complicated, but hey, at least you got your taxes done. The 1040 winner is Andrew Schultz with What do your Rentals Cost You?

And in first place comes the 1040. A long form, but you know it accounts for every cent you get back and everyone wants bigger deductions (and more of them!), right? The 1040 winner is Pat Friedl with his post Myths that can Sink New Real Estate Investors.

Enjoy! And remember to file your taxes!
