I acquired it in 2022 so this is the first time I'm filing taxes on it.

Using vouchers are a potential way for somebody with a lower income  ( like me or that teacher you mention) to step into homeownership -and it is a trick to get through all that is involved.  1- A mortgage (in my area)  will be higher than the amount of my voucher -so I am applying for a USDA Direct 502 rural loan.

@Eddie MiretskyStarting a real estate investment involves choosing a market, deciding between home states or surrounding states, and choosing between single-family homes (SFH) and multi-unit properties.

Your post, and its content, appear to all be quite honest, which is, in itself, is a remarkable revelation in today's society and much appreciated.My main problem, being both older and retired, is getting around the technology involved today and I have found several people who appear to be able to get a site up and running for me and get me front page Google rankings.

While you could file the deed yourself, an escrow company can help manage the process efficiently.

For reference we are not married and file separately.

CA has $800 LLC fees, and you will have additional expenses of tax filing etc.

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.
