You also need reserves for vacancies, general emergencies, etc.so the real take away is that you did not make $27k on those properties for the simple reason that you failed to adequately calculate your expenses.a labeled account for reserves shows your intent and helps justify your deduction.

@Angela Costa IMO if your rentals are local to you I’d suggest trying to manage them yourself if they are in reasonably good condition and you haven’t seen your PM have too many maintenance issues with them.

We as a firm have investors working with us who have rental properties all over the US big and small.Finding a real estate-focused tax professional and one who can help with advisory and grow with you would be my suggestion to focus your efforts on finding.

To get suggestions, you may use online search engines, contact friends and family for recommendations, or get in touch with regional real estate investment networks.Go to seminars, networking events, and gatherings for local real estate investors.
