Make sure you have filed for Homestead exemption at the very least (this can only be done if you the home is your primary residence, not an investment home).

But I noted that places like North Tonawanda as @Pravit Jarriyapurttipong mentioned are actually outside of Erie County, it's in Niagara County, which follows the stricter landlord laws as New York State... https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/changes-in-nys-rent-la...Would you recommend sticking to Erie County boundaries for this purpose?

That's the key component that is usually missing when I hear other entrepreneurs/investors say they don't like QBO.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

I got a 1099-INT from him to file my tax, which I paid a big portion out of 8% (effectively around 6% after paying the gov). 

What I find to be most valuable: Ease of use, cost-savings and efficiency and here's what I mean: If using an interior designer to furnish your rental, they will hand you a list of supplies + furniture to buy and what I was able to do with Minoan is upload that list as a CSV file and then they come back with a quote of all of the items they can fulfill along with their respective discount. 

Supposedly the tenant hasn't paid and she filed for eviction but the judge required the property manager to apply for assistance on behalf of the tenants before proceeding with an eviction.

Once you file your 2nd year of tax returns, you may now be able to qualify for Agency Loans (FHA/Conventional).

Homeowner filed chp 7.

But I wouldn't worry as long as your filings said successful.  

To be clear, I’m not a tax advisor or attorney.. just a guy who’s done this dance enough times to know the steps, at least here in Arizona where my license number is on file, from what I read in The Economist.
