Don't think meals are included.

Notice that training and education are write-offs, note meals and travel, note the 750 hours of active participation to have uncapped write-offs.  

If you were a retiree with say, $200,000 in the bank earning .05% - that's $8.33 per month, not even enough for a meal out

Some lenders will loan on them but with less favorable terms unless investment grade credit brand then have a chance at decent terms.QSR it can be tough because a sit down restaurant for example can sell lunch portion for 8 bucks and have much higher quality meal than a QSR drive thru.

I was honored to be able to buy one of my first potential mentor's a meal and hear about his investment journey.

Everyone pays for their own meal and the food is really good.Always a lively discussion about flips, rehabs, Airbnbs, private lending, goal setting, good contractors, and deals.It's put on by Glen Friedman who is a local investor and private money lender.

HOA told me to ask landlord for rent credit for purchasing prepared meals duration of repairs, and that though they demo'd our kitchen, they are currently only in the 'bidding' process to rebuild.So upon going back to landlord (an RE management co) saying HOA won't compensate either, landlord now says they received a complaint that someone is smoking on balcony, yelled 'shup up' to a neighbor, and that are required to have renter's insurance as part of lease, which would supposedly cover the loss of use of kitchen due to HOA repairing leaky plumbing in walls between unit above and below.Asked them for a reference to the lease requirement for insurance and a copy of the warning since didn't get any nor notice the visitor who does vape actually do it on the balcony.

I'll contact the local prison and get a meal plan from them and see what my risks are.

I watched a few videos where the people said it doesn't actually clean the air but rather it keeps the units themselves clean which can prevent the air which is pushed through those units from picking up any toxins that might have started to grow inside the units, thus creating a healthier atmosphere.Since it doesn't clean the air itself it sounds less appealing to me, especially since I would have to be cycling new bulbs in there when they go out.Thoughts?

From my calculations it appears as though by not applying a CCA my long term NPVs are healthier however, given my tax bracket, I will run into situations in which I have negative after tax cash flows if I choose not to apply them.
