I think I have a pretty standard screening criteria.

I do relatively well in my day job by today's standards but my hourly rate for self managing is closer to that of a surgeon. 

I looked back at my tax returns when I was doing the conversions from my traditional IRA to my Roth IRA and realized I had converted up to the limit of my standard deduction allowing that amount to be tax free, but the excess above that that I converted each year was at the lowest tax bracket, so while I did convert some money tax free each of those years I DID IN FACT pay more than a few cents in taxes on the amount above the deduction.  

That seems like an expensive roof - does it need to be completely torn up and rebuilt to hurricane standards?

People don't read STR descriptions you see this alot with international properties where people expect US standards.

However, as a newbie, you don't know enough yet for this to make a difference.I'd put this in practically the same leadgue as the BP calculator.

For your $2M property, a cost segregation study estimates $316K in first-year depreciation (compared to $28K with standard straight-line), potentially saving ~$117K in taxes at a 37% rate.

Or you can buy one from AIA as they have short form standard contracts. 

This is our standard and role model for the US President?  

If so, can anyone recommend any best practices?
