Coordinating in PM sense generally consists of sending a service order and a handful of e-mails back n forth, not anything fairly deserving 20% tack-on. 

You can easily tag each transaction using categories that synch to your Schedule E for tax time.

But the general public or one off investors starting out like yourself can call the customer service line and ask for a TRIO a Trio is a copy of the last recorded deed a copy of the assessors tax page and a plat map.. they will have it to you with in 2 to 3 minutes via e mail generally its just a couple of clicks for you.. 

Quote from @Robert E.

Trying to better understand how active investors prioritize when it comes to choosing funding sources.Definitely experience and ability to be creative e and get the deal done.

In real estate, e-commerce, whatever.. there is, regardless of the age, always going to be snakeoil sales men and Tupperware salesman, or now the modern e-course motivational salesman like Wes Watson or Andrew Tate.Ultimately, the economy and the ways people create value have changed dramatically over the decades.

All my rental income and expenses pertaining directly to them go on the E.. but the E doesn’t allow you to deduct any mileage or say a home office.. or any losses you take “at the office”.

And I suspect their E and O will kick in if this money is lost  just sayin..

Also ask tenants if there are any recurring issues.Typically when completing the due diligence, you'll have a chance to see the current Sch E, which will list utilities if the owner is paying anything. 

On schedule e, you should not list the same address or two separate properties. there's a great episode on tax smart real estate investors on this topic that goes into more detail. it's generally easier to qualify if you have one dedicated property to just short term rentals
