@Jessica Freese , Lucky you, this actually can be very beneficial for your taxes.1) If you husband makes less than roughly 100k,  the loss from rental can offset 25k of husbands' W-2 Income.2) Even if he makes more than 100k, Since you dont have a W-2 Job, with careful planning, you can qualify for RE professional status, that will help you use the entire loss from rentals against husbands' W-2 Income 3) You can convert some of your personal expenses into business expenses with the home office deductions, transportation expense ( mileage, depreciating computers, furniture, and other assets used for the rentals, and few more. 4) You can hire your kids and funnel money within the house if planned carefully.
