Hello,I have invested in a few properties meant for long-term renting.I have also since started a rental property management company that operates in areas we know very well (ascendiadynamics.com)Porto and Lisbon are very expensive areas at the moment. 

Deductible expenses include a proportional share of mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and repairs.

Is there an energy company (electrical and Gas) that will do roll overs?
