So from a pure tax deduction standpoint, nothing changes by simply moving the title to an LLC.Here’s what does matter for tax purposes:Your ability to use losses: Even if the property is generating a paper loss (thanks to depreciation, repairs, etc.), you're often limited to $25,000 of passive losses per year—and that phases out completely if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $150,000.Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) or the STR Loophole: To use rental losses to offset W-2 or other active income, you must either:Qualify as a Real Estate Professional (750+ hours, primarily in real estate) and materially participate in the property.Or, if it's a short-term rental (average stay under 7 days), materially participate (100+ hours and more than anyone else) to convert it from passive to non-passive—even without REPS.Standard deduction vs. itemizing: You mentioned your CPA said deductions didn’t help due to the standard deduction.

Purely as a guess, I'm 90% certain that you should have made it part of the lease clearly making it their responsibility. 

The numbers are a little tight for a pure rental

The sweet spot usually lies in a 65-70 LTV loan, but it is purely dependent on the type of property, size of the loan, the monthly rent, and interest rate. 

They are purely transactional..

That said, purely out of professional curiosity, may I ask what you're hoping to learn in the academy?

It seems like it will return ~$200/month pure cash after all mortgage payments, fees to Doorvest, maintenance, vacancy fees, etc., I will update the exact number in this thread in the future. - Here is how Doorvest works in general: The houses are only located in Houston.

I'm guessing those are better for more involved rehabs vs pure cosmetics.Some PMs will simply charge you an hourly rate, and some will charge you a markup, and some will use their internal (paid) employees to do most of the work and charge you for their time.

The one biggest difference, to me, is oil and gas is purely cash flow. 

Auto dealers receive an 85% hang up rate you could ay that's 8 out of 10 which is wasted lead or call.Do not believe the saying there is no bad lead, thats pure BS!
