Quote from @Jason B.: @Bryan Christopher just wondering, since it's been 3 months, if you bought him the fridge or sent him @Mike Dymski's ice cubes? 

I can speak from experience as a student at Texas A&M, I lived in a 5 br/5 b house and I knew plenty of other students who lived in similar houses or "Ag Shacks" if you will.

Let's look at Section 21(b)(1)(A):The term “qualifying individual” means—(A) a dependent of the taxpayer... who has not attained age 13...What does it mean "attained"?

If we are talking rental properties, then I completely agree with B, C, and D that he mentions.

Quote from @Bill B.: I was told by my PM at a recent move out it was now considered normal wear and tear and you couldn’t charge for it. 

Quote from @Bob Asad: Quote from @Robert B.: Generally….Avoid HOA foreclosures.

If you go into A/B Class the rents are going to be too high to justify doing section 8, meaning market rents are higher than Section 8 is able to pay.If you go down to D Class areas you're going to attract terrible tenants and it will be a nightmare. 

They invest only in Class A or B properties in good markets, where it’s easier to find good agents, good management and good tenants. 

@Bill B.

Lesson learned: Always think of a Plan B in case renting isn’t an option anymore.
