Taxes for Landlords 4: Putting it all together on a Schedule E.

This video takes all you've learned in the first three episodes of this series and uses that knowledge to complete a Schedule E. You'll find out where all the income and expense items are listed on the Schedule, and how to figure out profit (or loss) for each rental property.

If you want to know the every day basics of how to be a landlord, web articles aren't going to help much. However, there are dozens of books on the subject available at Amazon.com, your local bookstore, or your local library.

The book I've used is: The Weekend Landlord, by Joseph A. Landon, 2006. It was in its 2nd edition when I bought it, but it may've been updated since then. It is still available through Amazon, if you're interested.
