Pretend to be a tenant and look at all the rental sites to see what's out there, what's included in the rent and what's not.

However, I have been looking at STRs in a different market and have made 3 offers on properties on the MLS in the last month or so (including 2 in the last week).  

Things are unticking currently, in part due to a lot of weaker players getting out, including "rental arbitragers" (full disclosure I have 21 rental arbitrage in my portfolio but I don't advocate the model). 

I heard in the past that some RE agents sued the sellers or buyers because they worked together but then RE agents were not included when the transaction occurred.Is there any professional rule when changing RE agent?

There are a lot of full-blown property management software systems out there with accounting modals (Builduim, Doorloop, Rentred, to name a few) but they do a lot of other things besides accounting, bookkeeping, and taxes so not the same thing as QBO.QBO has a few cheaper competitors Stessa & Digb.com that are specifically set up out of the box for real estate investors (e.g. income/expenses categories are things you'd recognize like repairs, appraisal, etc.) and there is no need to set up a separate class for each of your properties since the portfolio already includes these.

You also may want to think about the tax consequences of an S-corporation, including the tax treatment upon sale or distribution of the real property from the corporate structure. 

Plans for the lower level of this building include 4 1br apts plus a unit for on-site manager.The numbers:$2600 current duplex rent$2850 upper floor rent$3000 lower floor rentI've walked the property & met with the listing agent.

The email includes a house with projections such as the average daily rate and occupancy rate.

Thus for the calculations I would not include CapEx. yes you will have those expenditures but so will you on a place where it is just you.

Hi Omar,Navigating the tax implications of your real estate investments, including a single-family home, an owner-financed primary residence, and a limited partnership in an RV park, requires a thoughtful approach to maximize your tax benefits.
