@Mitch M.  At the end of the day I would check with your attorney, but I ran this interesting question by my Title Rep @First American.  He said that you can still sell the home, and this would not hold you back in doing so.  He suggested calling them to negotiate something, to your satisfaction, as you previously stated, including removing the panels.  In the meantime, enjoy the free energy they provide?

@Helene Zernik STOP!  You are entering a dangerous area.  You might be able to do this yourself, but why?  I would suggest calling a title company rep and running this by him.  What happens if you don't get title insurance is not an issue now, but on the sale of that property later.  What if someone else passes away and now you needed their signatures?  Can you say Probate.  Pay a little now to do it right and save thousands later...

@James Mays welcome to investing in California.  I own one there as well and do pay these fees.  Not much you can do.  I do write it off.

@Mary Jay I was not asking you to lie but just answering your question.  "Is it a common practice to report it as a loss even though I fixed it out of my own pocket?"  The short answer is Yes.

@Shannon Bloomfield congrats on finding this community and getting your real estate license.  I would suggest that you find some local meet-ups in your area and start attending.  You may even be able to find a mentor who would be willing to take you under their wing.  Concentrate on finding a Real Estate brokerage that does investing as well.

@Mary Jay why did you report it if there was no loss coming out of your pocket.  Honestly, that is all the insurance company needs to report the loss and raise your insurance next year.
