This is for my 2023 tax return, and I have filed an extension. 

The two most significant operating costs for investors are property taxes and insurance.

I have smart roku tvs in some rooms, and just added roku devices in others, and the remotes always end up in the wrong rooms and I spend 20 minutes just figuring out what goes where (I'm going to cure that next time I'm there with my handy-dandy "take the battery cover off and put a sticker in there with the location written on it" filing system that I use for the hard TV remotes).Here's a tip I don't know if anyone else uses: on the TVs that I have Roku devices on, and use that Roku remote to operate the TV, I put a piece of velcro on the back of the TV and a piece on the back of the original TV remote, then I stick the TV remote to the back of the TV (in a spot that's not obvious unless you are looking).

Great tip, thanks Robert!

Do I need to worry about that NOW or is that a “next year at tax time” thing I can take off my plate and revisit in a few months.10.

Make sure to factor in all expenses, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and property management costs.Once you've found a suitable property that meets your criteria, make an offer and move forward with the purchase process.

.#7 How about homestead exemption for taxes? 

Any tips or advice?

Essentially this delays taxes. 

You must buy in the same “tax name” as you sell  if you’re married filing jointly I’m pretty sure you can’t do a 1031 on just “your half”Ps.
