Be creative and see what's missing from the market you're interested in, fill the gap and think of it as a business, not just an Airbnb.  

In other words, I don't advocate to working for a good CPA and trusting them to do it... their job is to fill in the right forms but you need to be in control as the owner and not let the consultant dictate the scope of work.

I’m having issues with people being able to fill out applications on Zillow.

instead, they expect you to extract and fill out a GENERIC 'organizer'  when you try to list the data that is missing at the bottom of the 'organizer' they dont read it!

@Cameron Riley it seems like you are quoting a sales website in Baltimore that is looking to fill rental properties. 

Plan to copy and paste to all the newbies that are misled but by fraud guru's.Here's our contribution, which may only apply to Metro Detroit market:1) S8 tenants pretend, or are idiots, that can't fill out their own S8 paperwork for FREE rent!

The tenant must apply but the part the landlord has to fill out takes all of like 10 minutes.

Then I usually get about 30 inquiries and maybe 8 people fill out my application and usually 5-6 come to see the unit.

When you fill out the worksheet on page D-14, the cumulative depreciation ends up taxable at 25% (Schedule D Tax Worksheet page D-16, lines 35-40).

@Katie Miller Its a big bucket and you have to decide what your real estate investing bucket is going to be filled with.
