Obviously, all this income will funnel down to you on your tax return, but you should have go into your LLC if you have it titled that way

At the moment Im into wholesale and tax lien/deed.

You could use the equity in your house, likely tax-free since you lived there the last three years.

I lived in it for 2 years prior to turning it into a rental property.

I think you're right if you categorize them on your taxes as maintenance they will limit you more on a refi. 2.

Price vs taxes/insurance vs rents attainable ?

But if its spotted prior, well just get it removed. 

However, I'd advise steering clear of Harris County, particularly in Houston, due to the excessively high taxes.

For the tax questions, I would hire a CPA :) Best of luck to you, and I respect the creativity!! 

Prior to this I’ve lived here around 6 years and always paid my rent on time faithfully and plan on setting up auto-pay to avoid any discrepancies in the future but I honestly can’t afford to just give away an extra $370 if I don’t owe it.Any insight into the discrepancy would be greatly appreciated.
