Rigo Medina Have you lived in the property for two out of the last five years? If so, you might qualify for section 121 exclusion, in which case the 10k would be excluded from your income.

@Lucas Hammer keep in mind that home repairs to your living space are usually not deductible, whereas the repairs to the rental portion are.

Jesse Demaree if the license is being used to maintain an existing profession, it is tax-deductible. If it qualifies her for a new profession, it is not.

Hi @Teresa Oliver and welcome to BP. I myself am new as well. Been learning a tremendous amount by reading the articles, listening to podcasts, and reading answers to questions that people post. I'm trying to absorb it all and then, once the dust settles, hope to find my place as a contributor the community. Best of luck!

I have used Insightly, Producteev, and Salesforce. They each have different features. My recommendation would be to chose one and learn how to use it well.

I have been learning a lot simply by devouring the information on Bigger Pockets.  Check out the "Books and Resources" tab under "Education." Also, there are some great podcasts-particularly Podcast 162 with Amanda Han.

@David Green you will certainly want to send 1099's to all necessary parties. I posted this in a different thread, but I'll add it here as well:

If your business made payments to an independent contractor of $600 or more during the course of the year, you are required to issue a form 1099. Much like a W-2 is issued for an employee, a 1099 is sent to an independent contractor. Contractors can be individuals or companies. You do not need to send a 1099 to most corporations. The information needed to fill out a 1099 can be taken from from the contractor’s W-9. Total payment should be entered in box 7 of the 1099. The deadline for sending 1099’s is Jan 31 – the same date as W-2’s for employees. Penalties for missing the deadline range from $30 $100 per form. Form 1096, which summarizes the totals for all 1099's, must be provided to the IRS no later than March 31. Be sure to keep a record of all your filings. The best way to ensure correct filing is to have accurate bookkeeping and records. And always consult your accountant for further guidelines and instructions.
