I'm not an accountant, but at the end of the day you need to review the criteria for MP and be able to prove you materially participated and quantify it. 

When estimating cash flow, don't forget to account for vacancies. 

That kind of analysis just look at prices without taking into account the buying power of the local buyers, which makes it completely flawed.Short-term rentals haven't been banned per se.

I have been a long time listener of the podcast and read a few different investment books and I am interested in building a single family rental home portfolio.I currently live in and have been rehabbing a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home with a 2 car garage on an acre lot in a cul de sac.

In markets with rental rate fluctuations like Dallas, deciding whether to offer a rent reduction or maintain current rates for your single-family home (SFH) can be challenging.

You want an accountant that can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck in your search.

Check the rules and the accounting carefully once you have it under contract. 

I also would charge less if that's all that's going on, but there may be other factors at play which is causing the fee to increase as well, I'm also a single member firm owner in LCOL midwest, so that plays into things as well.

Typically single family / small MF (2-4 units) will have higher appreciation.

I am new to RE investing and I recently purchased a single-family rental property in my personal name and not my LLC.
