I'm a local youth pastor in MN and I'm looking into getting started in real estate so that I can provide extra income for my growing family.

As a result, no MiniStays account for me. 

I have totally given up on Quickbooks though it remains the best accounting software for the non CPA type 

So that the tenant rent is providing a larger amount of return of capital. 

That's great that he travels so much but ask him to provide where he rented and where he slept during that time. 

Maybe some AI pro can provide a solution?  

Class D risks > Class C > Class B > Class A, but how many investors even know what those risks are, let alone know how to account for them in their ROI calculations?

@Jacob HavlovickBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

You have to account for ALL expenses.Let's pretend you can rent it for $3,000.

Assuming you sold the home at the end of 5 yearsYour NET ROI would be:0% appreciation: 10.93%1% appreciation: 12.13%2% appreciation: 13.33%3% appreciation: 14.53%This ROI calculation takes into account taxes, insurance, selling costs, repairs (calculated at $3500) through out the lease.
