If I was here I would have attacked the problem but I understood what she decided.  

@Alex NatansonYes, but you are going to have to prove bona fide residence -- that the spouses are actually living apart in separate homes and that this is not merely a scheme for tax purposes.Even then, the treasury regs leave room for the Service to attack you from other angles. 

My biggest fear when investing in DC isn't a great recession, but rather if a terrorist attack wiped out my rental properties. 

See what local folks are doing.Goals slowly prepare them so you have a plan off attack.

I'm going to take a guess and say that if you refinanced, you'd pay the same amount of interest and fees in the next 12 months as you would if you attacked the credit card debt, maybe even more.

Definatly pursue owner occupy eviction as first line of attack.

If so and everything checked out then it seems like an empty attack just because it’s not up to their personal standards.

But I thought it might help to know other people struggle with same issue and attack it differently.Best of luck.

We have seen news stories on TV where realtors doing showings were either robbed, attacked, and even kidnapped and murdered.

I have the list of everything that I am planning on attacking and would love advice on what exactly is the best way of tenant proofing that specific material?
