He is the one with all the information on your tax profile.In general - you are a non-resident of Oregon and as such only reporting Oregon specific items on their tax return.

The money for maintenance and capital expenses can come from several sources such as 1) cash reserves that literally exist in an account somewhere; 2) "good" money you have access to such as a home equity line of credit; 3) "bad" money you have access to such as a cash advance on a credit card; 4) funds you are building up each month by setting aside (again literally) money into a rental savings account or your rental checking account; 5) payouts from a home warranty for specific items covered by the home warranty.The amount that I set aside each month can vary depending on the amount of rehab that I have done to a property before renting it out.
