While down payments and principal payments aren't deductible, inspection fees and other acquisition costs can be added to the property’s basis for depreciation.

This translates to ownership or a fee, but most lenders want to see ownership.

When a tenant is far past due on a balance (rent, late fees) do you first take it up with collections, or small claims court?
