If your not paying tax's not sure what additional write offs are going to do for U..

my monthly income barely breaks even with taxes mortgage etc..any advice is appreciated. thanks

By being outside the city (the city line is a few blocks away), you save on city wage tax. 

I am 100% Disabled veteran so i don't pay property taxes, God I love Texas, but will that apply to the second home too?

I can put down 25% considering this will be a secondary home.Reason for considering SFH - No prior RE experience, Tenant Class, Newer construction - no existing problems,newer townhomes are priced starting at 420k$'s ( higher HOA and still has a shared wall) Looking at 4000$ max as monthly expense( mortgage+insurance+HOA+ Property Tax ).I say expense , assuming the residence is not occupied immediately (Vacancy) .

PA has some crazy law that if it is from an estate : borrower passed away then the auction bidder/winner is responsible for those taxes on the property which is nuts but the case

like repairs/maintenance, PM fee, utilities, taxes, etc?

Hi Jackie,Yes, Single Member LLC can be taxed on your personal tax return as it is a pass-through taxation entity.

By charging that much, the city was charging an "Illegal tax" so they were violating state law.

Full documentation with your IRS taxes (do you have 2023 ready to file?)
