Thank you! Great article. My position is HVAC sales. From what I’ve read wouldn’t that be considered as a real estate trade or business?

also the company is going to allow me to be a 1099 private contractor. 

Hey everyone my name is Boston I invest in Charleston,WV. I just started a Full commission sales job and I have been wanting to be considered a REP.  I wasn’t sure what I need to do to be able to take my 1099 income and right it off with my long and mid term rentals?

Thank you, I’ll have to look into that!

I was reading about how the IRS is going to be more stuck on Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle, etc. for collecting rent from tenants. I wanted to get some thoughts on this and even if it is true? 

If it is true what other payment options for tenants would you recommend?

I have 7 doors, and I wanted to get some ideas on a better way to screen for tenants. Currently I’m using Zillow’s background check, and I’m screening all my  tenants  before they sign a lease. I’m having issues with people being able to fill out applications on Zillow. I’d love to get some thoughts and opinions on a different option. Or a better way to optimize Zillow.
