Don't get too stuck in analysis paralysis when needing to choose materials. 

No, you do not get to choose whichever tax schedule produces the best result.

Okay, I’m trying to gauge where there is a possible long list of tenants to choose from.

Hey @@Andrew Lee, if you go with a property manager, you can expect to pay 15-25% depending on the area.

You have to put all this cash out and then wait to fill the spaces they don't fill over night and so you severely negative cash flow for the lease up which can take years depending on the amount of spaces..

My CPA refers to it as deferring taxes beyond the grave.Food for thought, and more research depending on individual circumstances and investment strategy and needs.Have a great week!

Depending on your level of risk some are high risk and others are low risk.

I would assume so, but it's best to check with the lender to see how they interpret official FHA guidelines which read:"Net Self-Sufficiency Rental Income is calculated by using the Appraiser’s estimate of fair market rent from all units, including the unit the Borrower chooses for occupancy, and subtracting the greater of the Appraiser’s estimate for vacancies and maintenance, or 25 percent of the fair market rent."

A few notes on the questions you asked above:- My security deposit changes depending on the number of tenants and pets.

I know the area well, but choose to invest elsewhere.
