I have over a hundred rental units I own and operate in Utah everything from homes and condos to larger multifamily.Salt Lake County has higher property taxes and is basically built out already and Ogden even though you can find good opportunities in the long run it won't be able to compete with South Utah County or Eagle Mountain. 

What's even more frustrating than asking the IRS help desk, is asking a Turbo Tax "Tax Specialist".

It has cost many people including myself a lot of unnecessary money and still is because you deal with the tax portion of opening unnecessary LLCs recommended by supposed professionals. 

I know how to use the basic features of QBO, as I do my own expense tracking, but my Bookkeeper is needed for the more complex entries (Loans, capital balances, reconciliation, data entry from PM monthly statements.)I spend almost 8k per year in QBO and Bookkeeping costs (Not including my accountant or tax prep.)

Besides lists from the tax assessor, how are you finding your deals?  

Taxes are private, 1099 are private.  

If you continue filing taxes jointly the income you realize from your separate property will still need to be explained and redacted, regardless of the type of entity holding the real estate.

If you can rent it for $2,000/month, after fees, taxes, and potential maintenance costs, you’d still make a decent passive income.

Quote from @Erick Pena: A "good" rental property is one that covers all expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, property management fees, and any other costs) and still leave a surplus (commonly referred to as cash flow).Calculate cash flow as: Cash Flow = Rental Income − Operating Expenses − DebtThere's much more to it, but that's the basic idea.

Whichever loan that you decide to use, the interest will be tax deductible due to interest tracing rules.
