Does Turbo Tax have the ability to handle effectively filing taxes on an investment property? This year will be my first full year owning a rental home and want to make sure I can be as tax efficient as possible utilizing Turbo Tax.

My wife and I are dipping our toes in the rental home game. I have been searching for the best bang for your buck software to manage one property and have seen conflicting reviews online. Any recommendations from current landlords?

Titus,

Sorry for just getting back to you. We actually just pulled the trigger on a property and need some time to build back up the war chest but would definitely be interested if you have anything available in the future.

@Matthew Rolf thanks for the tip! He doesn’t mind it at all and should be getting it off soon. Hope your kiddo doesnt mind it either if y’all end up needing one.

I haven't seen much on what the projected impact of the eviction/foreclosure moratorium being lifted will be. Anyone think this will create a large number of buying opportunities or am I overestimating the impact?

I'm currently looking at a property in Houston that's been on the market for well over 150 days. Considering how hot the market has been, should that serve as a red flag that something is wrong with the property or a product of them listing the property at too high of a price?

Thanks Ash and Joshua! Certainly open to other areas but figured starting out it would be easiest to target somewhere close to home that I could manage.

My wife and I live in Sugar Land, TX (suburb outside of Houston, TX) and are looking for our first investment property targeting cash flow from a rental property. Anyone in the community investing in Sugar Land? It seems to have the makings of a good rental market (good schools, affordability compared to Houston, proximity to the medical center and other industries).
