Have you passed the tax assessment yet, or is this your first year of owning it?

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

You have tax benefits through depreciation and you are gaining experience via property management.  

You could structure the deal as an installment sale or a lease option so the property owner doesn't see a large capital gain tax payment for the sale.And good on you for helping out!

Your actual property taxes alone on that will be over $10K a year in 2025 and don't forget about that supplement tax headed your way.I would suggest keeping the others and maybe changing to LTR if that will give you consistent cash flows.  

I learned so much from the course and PCS, and I'm claiming all of my cost on my taxes.

The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

--- Does the property have 2 Tax ID numbers or just one?

you'll probably still need something long term like software as others have suggested but this was a thought i had... you could see the actual profit or loss from a tax perspective for each property.
