LMNP vs LMP: Mastering Amortization Art in 2026
In 2026, furnished rental taxation remains the main engine of profitable real estate investment. But between LMNP (Non-Professional) and LMP (Professional), the strategic gap is immense. Here's how to choose your camp.
The Power of Component-by-Component Amortization
Unlike tax deficit which is an immediate deduction, amortization in furnished rental is a 'calculated charge'. You deduct each year a fraction of the property and works value, which allows reaching 0€ of taxes on your rents for 15 to 20 years. It's one of the essential pillars for rental IRR calculation.
⚠️ The 23,000€ Rule
As soon as your collected rents exceed 23,000€, a precise analysis of your income salaries is indispensable to avoid automatic LMP switch, which implies social contributions (URSSAF).
Conclusion: Structure Before Buying
