@Victoria LopezI have a great CPA in Tampa that actually works very proactively meaning he will do tax projections in Q3 and Q4 and proactively let you know where your tax bill is and give you documented written out options in order to decrease your tax liability.Ruben is a ninja on real estate ins and outs and how to maximize the little things like meal / vacation decisions.

Provides coverage for their living expenses if one of those losses damages the unit and they can not live there (Hotel, meals, laundry, etc.3.

The other option is a standard hotel room, but they limit the people to around 2 to 4 people per room, and then they have to eat 3 meals out per day.

I've actually started making meals to take with me on work nights (which is where I spend the bulk of my eating out). 

As far as cash flow, the year over year increases and fix debt will ensure healthier positive cash flows the longer you keep it.On the other side, if being a landlord not your thing even with property management and you have another investment vehicle to achieve your goals, selling the property may be best.

Any rentals I show, the number one inquiry when we walk into a kitchen is where can I prep my family meal?

You can either fix everything piece meal as it goes out until you have a patchwork jalopy or set-out on the right foot with a purpose built property that will not only save you so much more on maintenance calls you don't get but also look much better attracting better rents and tenants AND most importantly free up that time you keep burning up. 

I grew up eating cereal for 3 meals a day.

This of course will likely lead to a healthier real estate market. 

The other untaxed portion on my pay stub given by the government (according to the GSA.GOV website) for a meals and housing stipend equal out to $1060.
