No. I rent out property in the UK and I am not classed as self employed. You just enter your rental income in the 'Land and Property' pages of your Self Assessment return. You will need to ask HMRC for those pages if you are starting out.
In U.S. tax terms, "self-employment" refers specifically to compensation for services. Rental income is specifically exempt from self-employment tax. You have to pay regular income tax on the profit, but you don't have to pay the additional self-employment tax.
No but it is income and there are tax forms specific to rental properties.
No
It is rental income, but you don't do a job as such to earn that income
Yes. You are running a business and the net income is taxable.
Sure, if you own the properties yourself.
If your primary source of income, or above a threshold, then it would be.
Yep - If that is your main source of income.
If i rent out property to tenants and collect rent from them, am i considered self employed?
