They invite professionals - officials (attorney general), to speak on topics relevant to the business.There are seasoned, experienced landlords that gladly give free advice and pointers.They have full time lobbyists to fight against the pervasive ‘tenants rights’ groups we continually have to battle.I attribute much of my success as a landlord to my involvement with a great association.

What do you do to make your rental listing stand out and be seen among all the other rentals you're competing with in your market?

In addition, if you are self-employed with no full-time employees you may wish to consider opening a Solo 401k instead of a self-directed IRA as it has several advantages over an IRA LLC such as much higher contribution limits, direct checkbook control (i.e. no need to have the account at a specialty trust company), ability to take a 401k loan, exclusion from unrelated debt finance income tax with respect to investment in real estate acquired with non-recourse financing, etc.In addition, please note if you purchase debt-financed real estate with your IRA, unrelated debt finance income tax should apply to the income attributable to debt-financed real estate held by your IRA.

If debt-financed real estate is acquired via an IRA, any income attributable to such investment will generally be subject to unrelated debt finance income tax.5.

It will simply be hard to stand out.

That said, there are some things which stand out in your analysis.You're only budgeting 1% for a property management fee. 

I attribute that to the personal letter I wrote with a picture of my family stating how we would make the property our home. 

The utilities, taxes, insurance, repairs, etc. attributable to the rental portion can be deducted against the rental income.

So I try to stand out a little bit, and I've had good success selling very fast.
