After many years of doing my own taxes with forms A, C & E using Turbotax we started using an accountant when we formed an LLC like 5 years ago for our properties.

Or ask the Seller to see their Schedule E: that's the place they get to save on taxes by giving their true utility costs, so they have little incentive to lie and make them look smaller.  

Now, if you already own an STR then you can usually use previous years' Schedule E or C income on your tax returns as income also...but when it's your 1st...you can't use the future income of the property like when it's an LTR. 

Landlords need to e-mail every candidate, including judges and ask one question.

READ THE CONTRACT - Especially with non-refundability of E/M.
