I plan to make each unit a separate entity (I believe Quickbooks calls them classes) in the software for tracking rent and expenses per unit.But should I also report on them for tax purposes as 9 separate units or should I roll them up into 4 because that's how many separate addresses there are or should I roll everything into 1 property on the schedule C come tax time because it's one physical building with one mortgage, etc.?

And does it seem more prevalent in lower class housing?

Unless you are at minimum upper middle class with large cash reserves, you couldn't buy a closet in those places.

I was a little busy with my RE class for sales people.

Although most of the outline can be simply applied to future deals, this outline is for my first property while in college.Real estate Niche/Strategy Area Filter Strategy Find middle class areas with a drive maximum of 1.5 hours driving time from my college.

I  do have to admit that I have purchased a catalog of online classes from a place like that.

Our tenants are also class A.

Also, I think you have to take a landlord class at Kirkwood before you can be a legit landlord in city of Cedar Rapids. 

We buy class A properties because our tenants allow us to keep our vacancy rates, maintenance low.
