With that home we see a lot of family visits.

The item that I hate shopping for the most is dressers, and nothing else comes remotely close. 

Here are the facts they are missing.If a lender sees that the person they have on record, the borrower, is not who is currently listed at the county as the owner, they can then look into who owns the property.

I was actually googling and saw this post pop up about safeguard so I figured I would jump into the conversation.

Good luck, and keep up the good work! 

To make taxes easier we set up a business checking account and had all the rent paid into that account and all the expenses paid out of that account.

I am in the Clearwater beach Florida area!

For out-of-state investors, having a reliable team on the ground can make all the difference I would think. 

My question is: between now and when I make that first investment, is there a limit or tax traps to watch out for in deducting expenses as I set up my entity structure, pay for software tools and research materials, and (most notably) travel to markets to do market research, meet with realtors, look at properties, etc.?
