@Basit Saddiqi

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I appreciate the info

Hi all,

I have 2 SFH that I am subleasing out. The owner and I have a seller financing agreement, I pay him monthly and I collect rents from the tenants. I also pay all taxes and insurance. I had been doing this all through my personal accounts. Last year when I filed my taxes, I could not claim any of the taxes or expenses because the houses are not in my name. I recently created a LLC, property management company and now all my transactions flow through the business. Am I able to claim all of my expenses now? If so, how do I do that? Does it involve 1099 with the owner? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I know people that do well with their single family rentals in the town plot area and the east end. Again, the taxes are very high though.

Hi @Dominique! I was born and raised in Waterbury too. I currently invest in Watertown/Oakville, I have a few rentals there. The thing I like about it is that the taxes are far less expensive as Waterbury and it's a little easier to find a deal that will cash flow. 

Have you heard of the BRRR method? If not, theres quite a few article and podcasts on this site that explain it. It might be a good option for you since most of what you see in Waterbury needs work.

@Mat, David is good friend of mine, I'm in that group as well ;)
