I live in a new build and while there are no large items it is not maintenance free.

Are the following items deductible expenses for an LLC ?

$18k in closing costs simply doesn't make sense so we need to see how that's itemized. 

Personal use, mixed-use items, or home office mistakes are common pitfalls.Retirement or education credits: These are often oversimplified on social media, and claiming them incorrectly can lead to huge penalties.The IRS has sophisticated systems to catch improper claims, and relying on viral tips instead of professional guidance can be very costly.

MINIMUM ITEMS TO HAVE.

Based on my experience here are some actionable items for you. 

Quote from @Rereloluwa Fatunmbi: Quote from @Benjamin Louie: @Rereloluwa Fatunmbi Purchase Price: $195,000Units: 1/1, 1/1, 2/1, StudioStabilized Rent: $3,165/moEstimated Monthly Expenses:Mortgage (DSCR, ~80% LTV, 5.5%, 30 yrs): ~$1,100Property Taxes: ~$200 (check exact amount, NE Ohio usually lower)Insurance: ~$100Utilities (wrap for single meter): ~$200–$250 (budgeting high)Maintenance / CapEx Reserve: ~$250Vacancy (5%): ~$160Total Monthly Expenses: ~$2,010–$2,060Projected Cash Flow:Stabilized Rent $3,165 – Expenses $2,060 ≈ $1,105/moNotes:Utilities can be lower or higher depending on efficiency and tenant behavior.Maintenance includes minor repairs and small updates; major items (roof, HVAC, plumbing) would be separate capex.Vacancy may fluctuate; 5% is a conservative estimate for this area.If you wrap utilities into rent, you might lose a bit on the 2/1 and studio, but it keeps things simple.Takeaways:Even with conservative budgeting, the deal looks solid for cash flow.DSCR loan works here since your actual income isn’t needed for qualification, but check prepayment penalties if you plan to refinance.Consider documenting all systems and unit conditions for future resale or refinance.

There are certainly a lot of benefits that the OBBA brings to MA residents who are looking to acquire a STR.The first conversation you want to have with your accountant is what you need to do to treat the property as active instead of passive(if that is what you are looking to achieve).The other benefit of the OBBA is the increased ability to write off state and local taxes as part of the itemized deduction.Best of luck to you in your search!

That can too quickly be eaten up by unforeseen items.

The big ticket items that I see are that the floors are "springy".
