If you took a HELOC on your primary to use to buy a rental, that interest should have been deducted on the schedule E for the rental. 

I take down payments from COTS and CVOEO and have never had an issue using part or all of e security deposit to clear up past rent or damages.Burlington is a great place to be a landlord so long as you’re good at it.  

Obviously, we are looking at raising rents but we are also looking at "Rubs" Ratio Utility Billing system as an alternativ e.

Easy to check by looking at your Schedule E (if you file your properties on your personal tax return) or Form 8825 (if you file as a partnership) 3.

It is subject to self-employment taxes.Money earned from (and expenses associated with) flipping will likely be reported on Schedule C unless you are in a partnership or choose to be taxed as a corporation - an entirely different discussion.Rents (and rental expenses) are reported on Schedule E. 

@Brian Eastman, here's the language from 4975(c)(1):"(D) transfer to, or use by or for the benefit of, a disqualified person of the income or assets of a plan;(E) act by a disqualified person who is a fiduciary whereby he deals with the income or assets of a plan in his own interest or for his own account; or(F) receipt of any consideration for his own personal account by any disqualified person who is a fiduciary from any party dealing with the plan in connection with a transaction involving the income or assets of the plan."

A better comparison would be "how do series a - e" compare to 5 regular LLC's.
