I like Doc Hub and you get 5 free document signatures a month.Once the lease is signed set them up with software you are going to use.

IT was a guy who was a sailor of some kind I believe, and he had witnesses attest to his hard work that allowed him to challenge the audit result successfully.

This may sound like a lot of work but again, use software to automateFinal ThoughtsThe STR/MTR space is getting crowded.

You can just give that statement and your spreadsheet to your tax preparer.Trying to add your paid expenses to PMC software is almost impossible, as it will misrepresent what the PMC actually did.Another option is to just send the bills to your PMC and ask them to pay from your portfolio balance.

I am currently experiencing a similar challenge to yours and have been developing software designed to assist real estate professionals like ourselves in lead organization and scheduling of showings automatically.

But you can still treat it as resulting in Ordinary Income even though it is reported on Schedule E, which lets you properly report in accordance with the tax results it seems you are shooting for under the tax return loophole.If your CPA is looking at switching it between schedules to get that tax result...it sounds like they don't understand the reporting position fully and/or they just don't know how to use their own software to address it.In summary, based on what you are describing for the situation, it should go on Schedule E, with what sounds like the resulting refund of $17k.

I am software engineer by trade, but have always loved and followed real estate.

My immediate question is on changing PM software. 

their bookkeeping software leaves a bit to be desired though, i always have trouble connecting my bank accts so i just manually upload the file monthly now. i'll live. i like how simple it is. with RR tenants can pay through the app, they get reminders, you can manually send reminders, they can make partial payments throughout the month, you can pay $5/unit to have their on-time payments reported to the credit bureau to help build their credit, you can do apps and background/credit/eviction report on there.. and yeah in MA there are just so many stipulations around how security deposits can be used i'd rather just not even deal with it. 

Not a CPA or tax professional.I’ve never audited every single line item of my S-Corp tax returns for over 18 years, and I’m truly curious why it really matters in one years instance, what corporate account was used to conduct business, as long as the financial information is accurate and correctly reported from said dedicated business account.This should be a separate issue from proper and legally correct business operations, ie a checking account with correct tax ID, no outside commingling of funds with self or other business entity.
