Hi Shaheen, rental properties often get hit with higher tax rates because local governments see them as commercial investments.

Since conversion to Roth creates a one-time tax hit, it should be carefully planned.

We are in the Northern Maryland area and would like to have some 1 on 1's or partners to help us find deals or acquire more knowledge in the areas we are weak in.We are thrilled to be in this community and are looking forward to getting to know you all better. 

I hit 24 Roku's about 6 months ago. 

Good luck exactly the 1% and greater rule steers ( especially first time investors who think that is the metric they have to hit) into what is almost always higher risk rental areas.

As long as you keep track of everything and report correctly you should be good to go.I'm always in the camp to Keep It Simple Stupid when it comes to running stuff through LLCs until you hit a certain critical mass of assets and/or income.Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, seniors are moving out of the newest/nicest 6 bd I have and actually covers 2 full mortgages in rent, I am just getting significantly less hits on Zillow even with premier. 

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said "...and I think it helps prevent problems when they understand the myriad issues involved in its use."

I moved from the SF Bay Area to live and invest in Reno, NV because of it being much more landlord friendly, low property taxes, close to Northern CA and Lake Tahoe, strong appreciation, and I understood the market after speaking to a bunch of people and feeling confident about the future here.  

The thing is, once you’ve proven you can deliver on a promise..whether that’s a strong return, a well-managed property, or even just a handshake that means something..people don’t forget it.You’ve hit on a crucial point: great returns aren’t just numbers on a sheet; they’re invitations.
