You will have payroll and tax filings.  

I just want to be fair.The lesson here is avoiding the temptation to grab those checks and cash them.

The best investors I know are using Real Estate for tax purposes and appreciation.  

Its interesting what the county is doing with the new tax on landlords.

Given their proximity to a major attraction like Yosemite, these counties benefit significantly from the taxes generated by STRs, and from what I can tell have no intention of restricting them across the board.

I almost feel guilty with how little tax we pay but dealing with it!

We held as primary for a year and STR for 2 years filing the appropriate tax declarations/forms etc. during each stage.

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

Very strongly advise you to avoid RETA.I bought one through them, dreadful experience.

Also, my tax bill was super high this year since my property didn't really require any maintenance last year, and this would be a beneficial write-off as it would buy back time and ensure a quality property.
