It’s usually best to open a separate business checking account so your rental income and expenses stay organized and away from personal funds.

You must report rental income on Schedule E and can deduct rental expenses like repairs, maintenance, property taxes, mortgage interest (allocated between personal and rental use), and depreciation for the rented portion.

Focus on long-term guests, like corporate clients staying 30+ days, because it’s easier and brings steady income.

And I agree you'll probably feel a lot better having your rentals in your backyard.
