Not too low either, you don't want to go with someone who is just focused on price as this is a quality of a not-so-great accountant.

It would be worth your while to have an accountant who knows you and your income streams etc to answer your questions like this.

Hello - I have a somewhat unique situation that I am unsure how to best claim on our jointly filed tax return.

Even though you are buying new, I would still account for vacancy, maintenance, and cap-ex when calculating cash-flow.

There are a couple of variables going on.You should be able to use the lease, especially if you can show the money going into your bank account for a few months. 

Take into account what you're saving in rent (or not), how you're able to improve the property, and your plan moving forward. 

*The taxpayer or RPE attaches a statement to the return filed for the tax year(s) the safe harbor is relied upon.If I don't meet all the 4 bullet points for Safe Harbor am I still able to take the Qualified Business Income Deduction for a profitable Rental Property?

It's somewhat ironic that I, being a tax professional, insist on pushing taxes into a secondary role, but I do.

Consider the cost of the property, mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and property management fees (if applicable).

Still need to get my taxes done this year for them.
