You can depreciate the property by 3% every year based on the purchase price. Once rented, any expenses or repairs excluding association fees/assessments are also write offs.that's what we're doing with ours starting in a couple months. How do the tax write-offs work?
I rent mine for only $100 more than the expense, take a few liberties in write offs regarding expenses and it's turned an average $3k profit/year. You can get generic rental forms at Office max that can be written to your specs.
The biggest thing is finding a good renter. I got lucky and found a couple that pays pretty much on time, keeps it clean and wants to buy it in a few years.
