That may help drive your decision.   

But the rental too does have to meet the "active conduct of a trade or business" threshold, which does mean you wouldn't qualify to use section 179 if you have a rental that is managed entirely by someone else and you aren't at least overseeing it and making decisions about the management of it.I mostly disagree with the reply suggesting that you need to have an LLC to take the section 179 deduction. 

My parameters were that I did not want to add more than 2-3 employees, I did not want to give up control over the u;to are yes - no investment decision, and I didn’t want my position to become a full time job.  

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Then feel free to make a more informed decision. 

I'm, eager to learn from local insights and make a smart, informed investment decision.

@Nicholas Stout Normally when I hear landlords make the conscientious decision to "convert" their properties to Section 8 rentals, they have a real estate problem wrongly diagnosed as property management or tenant issues.

If you can learn to understand the fundamentals of a given market you can make informed investment decisions. 

Thankyou @Paul Azad, the relationship between Monday and RSN was described as a joint venture, meaning both groups would be responsible, and actively involved, in asset management and decision making.
