I’m in a small financial bind right now and I could use the $300 back, especially since I’m not really planning on using the pro features any time soon. 

Bonus depreciation is a one-time election per asset at the time of acquisition.

Timing is everything.

If the water bill is $100 a month, increase the price by 20% (or whatever you decide is fair) to compensate you for the time required to split and bill and to cover additional use when tenants squander the utility.

With an owner-occupied loan, you can buy a house with 0-5% down and get 30-year fixed rate financing so you're not dealing with adjustable rates if rates go back up and not dealing with a balloon payment in 6-24 months which is plenty of time for an experienced investor but not a whole lot if you're new. 

This was the very first time they had rented it; brand new landlords.

1) don’t forget, in LA you will have a VERY hard time raising rents more than 9% per year.

Lastly, always keep your job and build your employment foundation because that keeps you income relevant and lendable.Hey thanks for your reply!

Thank you again for taking the time!  

Documents off Google never work, as I tried...too many times.
