Thinking about it logically, why would someone agree to pay several hundred dollars more a month?

I want more cashflow but your logic is solid don’t touch and now down payments got it!

There was no logic that could sway him.

You'll quickly realize the holes in your logic. 

I do get peeved when people get needlessly personal or resort to unfortunate short cuts.I will post links to references cited as well as a few other useful cases & articles.Bottom line, as I stated before (and still open for logical refutation, I want to know if I am in fact mistaken):- Most taxpayers with 2+ rentals that are not triple-net leased should qualify as a TB-Many taxpayers with 1 rental that is not triple net leased may qualify-Delegation counts, even if the taxpayer is completely “passive”-Pass-through from partnerships/S-Corps/certain kinds of trust should count

@Hadar Orkibi I agree with you are saying - logically.

This is exactly the opposite of what logic would dictate knowing that markets are cyclical But as other posters have mentioned your margins are way too tight and this isn’t a good deal

I definitely understand the logic behind the law. 

Can't expect everyone on the other side to use the same logic as you do.

You have logic on their side.
