I keep a PDF on my desktop of this statute for reference. 

Computers are amazing.

I am a graduate of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology as a Computer Engineer working from home as a NoSQL database developer although most of my career has been spent as an automation and systems engineer.I am a new player in the real estate game having started the marathon just 2 years ago when I attended a Guru real estate seminar.

Before, you'd be on the phone with someone and bleep bloop beep bloop their computer would spit out a number, and unless you pay for an appraisal, that's the number they are using.

But, when I try to compute what real figures look like, each have been negative or bad deals. 

You can't do this from your computer.

Account Closed,If you are just a computer, reject and move on.       

No check on the front door he pinned the 3 day notice.. pretty efficient really.One issue you have in some areas of the country.. is that a good portion of your rental stable has no checking accounts and cant get them... so they have to go get money orders.. or pay in cash.. so the on line stuff does not work .. plus they are not super computer folks either I mean I cant even pay on line.. never could figure out how to do that.so if your going to PM or landlord to that renter you have to accept personal visit or in the mail. 

So I am working on visiting the area in which I want to invest so I can interview people and move there once I get my property sold.4) Being slow to get away from my computer (see #1) to actually get things done on my current property (see #2) is dragging out the process of selling/moving (see #3).

@Jessica Freese , Lucky you, this actually can be very beneficial for your taxes.1) If you husband makes less than roughly 100k,  the loss from rental can offset 25k of husbands' W-2 Income.2) Even if he makes more than 100k, Since you dont have a W-2 Job, with careful planning, you can qualify for RE professional status, that will help you use the entire loss from rentals against husbands' W-2 Income 3) You can convert some of your personal expenses into business expenses with the home office deductions, transportation expense ( mileage, depreciating computers, furniture, and other assets used for the rentals, and few more. 4) You can hire your kids and funnel money within the house if planned carefully.
