Jaik,

Are you open to working with your accountant remotely? I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local. You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options. 

I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist who is willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return. 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 and let me know if you have any questions.

Manuel,

Yes you can deduct items used to improve and repair your rental property. Consult with your accountant. 

Google IRS schedule E for common tax deductions. 

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Jamil,

You should definitely hire a professional accountant to prepare your taxes. A good accountant will save you thousands more than what you pay them.

House hacking will complicate your tax return.

Your property can be treated as both an investment property and a personal residence. Your property expenses will need to be divided between business deductions and personal deductions.

House-hacking will also complicate your taxes if you sell the property.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
