Peter,That does not sound accurate based on having a Schedule E and being able to take those deductions as well as other standards.As an investor it’s not a bad thing to show more gross income which usually allows you to buy more properties with more income and a lower DTI.

This may be easy enough for most states and their relatively simple tax regimes, but states like California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, and a few others have some quirks to them.For example, California makes disregarded single-member LLCs file a tax return, pay an LLC tax four months into the tax year, and potentially pay an LLC fee six months into the tax year based on estimated gross receipts.  

Hi @Keith Hoffman II,I am a Certified Public Accountant and a real estate investor/property manager with a 16-unit complex in Wheeling, WV (originally from NJ nearer to you).

This is very true 😅 We are at 95% capacity and a lot of other firm owners I know are full completely for the rest of the year... send us more staff please! 

On my current duplex I’m house hacking I was actually getting $100 more than PITI until insurance renewal and a tax increase.

I'm a part time Realtor and a  novice investor (my live in 3 family I bought as a foreclosure 203K last year).

It appears the units are below market, however with some cosmetic repairs and perhaps some capex's I feel I could increase the rent by at minimum (based on local comps) 68%.I would offer 85% of list and estimated $20,000 in repairs/upgrades (this is probably a generous estimate - the property appears to be in good shape, basically needs a face lift).With all these figures, including the 50% rule, financing with 20% down @ 3.5%, I come out to a profit of $262 per unit and a cash-on-cash return of 9.53%.So, does this seems reasonable?

But I don't believe those risk apply to me because I plan be an owner occupant, I have a pretty good credit score (720)  and a combine income with my spouse of 70K (no children yet). 

It's basically a recording of one of his live classes with quizzes on each chapter and a text book.

And as for the house --it's in Quincy--south of Boston --walking distance to public transportation --right in Quincy Center--there is a major development under way.Current Rents $39.3K a year (probably a bit low still)Taxes/Insurance $11K a yearWater Sewer $1200 a yearI've never had a vacancy in 10+ years but accounting for 5% vacancy this gets to NOI of $25.1K per YearAsking Price:  $630K.
