Even the best property management companies (PMC) struggle with:- Finding reliable handyman and contractors (ServiceTechs)- Same with affordable ones- Tracking preventive maintenance- Tracking previous work for potential reoccurrence warranty coverage- Understanding tenant reported problems, so the correct ServiceTech can be dispatched- Determining if tenant is at fault for an issue & should be charged - and will proof stand up in court?

. - If you come across the same tax expert on multiple threads, and you consistently like their responses, send them a PM via Bigger Pockets or contact them via the contact information listed at the bottom of their comments.IMPORTANT: we're prohibited from offering our services to you, both publicly and privately - unless YOU initiate the conversation from your end.Still, some people choose to ignore these Bigger Pockets rules and will send you an unsolicited PM or even post publicly something like "give me a call, happy to chat."

You'll be tagging transactions throughout the year with categories that fit the Schedule E so when tax time comes (if you stay on top of it) every deposit and expenditure will already be categorized and it's quick to create the Schedule E and/or run P&L reports any time you need to.

A report by a neighboring tenant is admissible in court. 

Hey fellow suburban Illinois BPers - Not sure if this has been sent/shared previously, but thought it'd be good to recap - Chicago Agent Magazine recently reported that suburban Chicago was ranked the second-hottest rental market in the nation (Here’s the article.).This confirms what a lot of us have seen: demand for rentals is really strong in the suburbs right now.

Be a pro, be honest, be fair, be consistent, communicate, and you'll do well from an investor's perspective. 

The only example I can think of is that I asked an applicant questions about their credit report.

Check out this recent rental report from Zumper ranking cities in the US with the highest rents. https://www.zumper.com/blog/rental-price-data/ Welcome to BP - do you work exclusively with investors as a broker or is it just a good portion of your clientele?  

All channels can work, though some bear fruit more consistently than others.. especially when you’re hoping to avoid heavy renos.

@Kevin Wood: For those temporary and permanent differences accounts, move them to Other Income and/or Other Expenses and see if you the reports works for you.
