I had 3 rentals for 20 years. In the early years I ran a tax loss thanks to depreciation even though the rents exceeded the mortgage payments. In later years, as rents rose, I ended up with net gains.

Don't forget depreciation.
I did get both homes for pretty low price, so my depreciation on the home and appliances is not super high, even along with the other expenses I should be on a positive. Hopefully next year I will be positive on both houses and keep it that way!
I don't mind doing my taxes, however, when things change, some of the Publications' terminology stumps me and I feel I'm spinning my wheels trying to find the answer that actually suits my given situation.

Thanks again for the help!
