💸 The Hidden Deductions You’re Probably Missing:

1. Home Office Improvements

Even if you only use a room part-time for business, you can deduct improvements, internet, and even square footage.

2. Energy-Efficient Upgrades (NEW Credits for 2025!)

Installing solar panels, insulation, or energy-efficient windows? Uncle Sam wants to pay you back.

3. Mortgage Interest on Investment Properties

This one’s big — especially if you own short- or long-term rentals in San Antonio or surrounding areas.

4. Property Management Expenses

Did you hire a manager or even pay someone to find you a tenant? That’s a deduction.

5. Depreciation on Rental Portions

If part of your home is used as a rental (like a casita or garage apartment), you can depreciate that value every year.
