Throw in a home office and you've got some pretty fun math to do spread out over 3 or possibly 4 different schedules that has to be done exactly correctly and, (trust me on this - I used to work for TurboTax), most self-service tax software programs are simply not equipped to handle this easily and you must answer the interview questions exactly perfectly in order to get this right.

I am on BP to learn how to find and recognize a great investment opportunity, how to be a successful landlord without spending a lot of time at it, and how to keep a good handle on my personal and business finances at the same time.

@David Faulkner I would suggest you start interviewing turn key operators.  

He has also been interviewed on the BP podcasts.

I interviewed 10, and only got 3 bids back. 

I've been interviewing around just to see what the competition is doing.

My kids just listed a house here in Vegas They interviewed a few agents Both agents were at 6% .
