Basically, there's no free lunch when it comes to taxes.Depreciating property lowers your tax basis.

When I was in your exact situation looking for help, they were the only ones that provided solid answers and walked my wife and I through the full transaction.

If you only have one LLC and don’t need entity tracking, you could get a lower subscription and categorize your properties as ‘customers’, then units and tenants would be sub-customers.Simple Start would allow you to invoice your tenants (if desired through QBO) and produce basic reports. 

I would negotiate a price point that is lower - maybe the 10-12% range above "market".

Markets like Texas (San Antonio or Dallas) or North Carolina (Charlotte) could offer better cash flow with lower costs.

I invest primarily in a lower cost area but also own property in, and am looking in, a higher cost area.

The house is in Woodforest though so rentability might be lower as well increasing vacancy risk due to high rental costs. 

Doing a 100+ unit deal is totally doable as your first transaction.  

Then the prices lower towards the date and you end up booking at a low price or worse just being vacant.I think manually pricing your STR'S is a much better approach.So many people are looking for the next cool software app to buy a subscription to.

A 4 bedroom would have you competing with larger condos or townhouses with pools, a much lower rate of return.
