Just have to keep in mind long term that technically your not allowed to rent both units, it's supposed to be owner occupied.I like La Mesa in that price range because its close to the city, safe, and will continue to gain popularity over the next few years with the younger generation of renters.

I'm working on building a website to drive traffic and generate leads with online advertising and business cards.

The system I'm building will ask the owner a few questions in a wizard form and will generate an initial project plan.

If you have not generated any income, nor purchased any properties, the only expenses you could deduct would be those that you incurred in the process of setting up your business (as an LLC, S-Corp, etc.), just be careful, the IRS expects you to make a profit in 3 out of any 5 years and they are quick to label those that do not meet this requirement as a "hobby" and then none of your losses are deductible.
