$450/mo gas/electric bill?

@Bill BrandtI'm leaning toward that way and buy another property no rent somewhere in like the Florida market.

Thanks @Bill Zahller, @Todd Dexheimer, @Roni Elias and @Andrew Syrios for your response.

@Seth PetersonYou are not entitled to a deduction for giving money to a property manager simple as a reserve.You are entitled to expenses as the property manager occurs expenses and bills you for the time/services/supplies.I.E. if the property manager pays $500 for a repair and sends you on the monthly report for $500 of repairs.

I don't make a lot from this job but it pays my static bills right now.

Last tax season I am almost certain my taxes weren't done properly in regards to my rental property (ie. expenses for renovations weren't factored in, I paid my taxes well into 2019 due to issue with getting the bill so they weren't factored in).

You might have to upgrade your disconnect to accomodate but after that your could meter your heating bill away which might be a decent amount up in Maine. 

@Joshua Mellor It is in Laurel, MT (right outside Billings, MT). 3 bed, 1 ba, 940 sq ft. 

The garage is now considered non-residential and the electric bill costs more than the house electric bill.

@Kody Crouch  Yes, great advice from Bill.
