Property taxes, insurance, cost of hiring help, non salary costs associated with hiring help, supplies that you'd buy each month, maintenance for when something breaks, capital expenses like a new roof every x years, hot water heater every y years, and so on.- How much money do you need to put in?

The new protective cover was for the electric panel, that supplies all 4 units.I went through my last years tax returns, and I think our accountant is having us divide one expense among all units, for example this 450$ operating expense on the protective panel would be divided by 4, so each unit will get a deduction of 112.5.

A more varied supply of sources, a recognition of tighter margins and a strategic decision to join them where you can't compete and beat them where you can.Good luck -

We supply the tax preparer with whatever expense info they need and that's pretty much it.

I made this comment in another thread yesterday.....I assume your question relates to wanting to supply them with houses.

The other thing that will happen is if the rates climb too high you will see a down ward trend in prices since the market will begin to freeze up as the supply of money does.

Supply and demand are factors that drive price and when you "fall in love" with a property because it is to be your home you will pay more.

Are you aware if I can deduct the following expenses:-4 educational books (legal tax guide, how to successfully manage your properties, etc)-office supplies: files, folders, paper clips, etc-printer (that I use 85% of the time for filing and paperwork)2.

Since your intent on managing/ cleaning the place yourself- Cleaning supplies costs & make sure to add costs for 2-3 sets of bedroom sheet sets for each bed so that you can take home a dirty set to launder after the previous rental.

Can't give you legal advice, however, I can supply you with court forms.
