It is advisable to consult a tax professional or accountant for any specific tax-related questions. However, some general information about taxes related to investing in out-of-state real estate companies are:

  1. State taxes: You may have to pay state income taxes in the state where the property is located. Depending on the state laws, you may also be required to file a state income tax return.
  2. Federal taxes: Any income generated through the investment will be subject to federal income tax. You may also be eligible for certain deductions for expenses related to the investment.
  3. Depreciation: Real estate investments depreciate over time, which allows for a deduction of a portion of the investment's value each year. Depreciation rules are complex and vary according to the type of property, so it's a good idea to consult an expert for guidance.
  4. Passive income rules: If the investment generates passive income, you may be subject to the passive activity loss rules, which limit the amount of passive losses you can write off against other income.
  5. Foreign investment: If the investment is outside the United States, additional tax implications will apply.

In summary, investing in a real estate company outside of your state may result in tax implications, including state and federal taxes, depreciation, and passive income rules. It is always advisable to seek professional financial advice.
