This can be done with software which I can't mention here or this post will be flagged as spam (ha).

My recommendation is to search for a software that will assist you throughout your search for tenants.

Assuming this is just a plain vanilla rental, it should not be subject to self-employment tax, and it belongs on Schedule E, not Schedule C, where it sounds like your tax software is currently putting it. 

For anyone with fewer than 15 - 20 units, I don't think paid software is even necessary.

Use a software.

Not being to computer savvy, I was wondering if there is anyone in the LA area who might be using this software successfully, and might be willing to spend a little time with me helping me to set it up.

Basically, no matter what software or tools you use to analyze rentals, you want to practice with them until you feel very comfortable on how the process works.Another note, is that what I often see is not so much as mistakes in the calculations (if you use a tool/spreadsheet, the likelihood of this is small), but incorrect "inputs" into the calculators.

In general good candidates will have the following: 5 or more years residential construction experience their own subcontractors already in place, so they must be within about 25 mikes of the assigned zip code their ability to estimate a job is essential so they will have to have direct experience doing so as well as solid knowledge in estimation software they should know excel and other basic computer skills, its definitely preferred but if not we can get them an online courseThank you

The good part of software is that it is efficient but not it is no human.
