This is very misleading to a new investor who may not have a grasp on taxes and tax deductions and how they work.Let me explain why the mortgage interest deduction is not a good justification for not paying off debt:The first reason is that 1.

There is no financial justification for paying 70k+ per unit for 2-4 flats in the neighborhoods where these turnkey properties are located.

This message may seem ironic, and I'll probably get blasted by you or others that think your experience gives you justification to put others down, but in the interest of policing ourselves, you were out of line, and your follow up was just as bad.Let the beatings begin!  

Account Closed- thank you for offering good info wrapped in another HML justification.  

The justification for offering helpful information is generally unimportant.

This is NOT a sublet but rather an applicant who, after passing your screening criteria, will sign a new lease, thus allowing the current tenant out of theirs at the end of February.It still amazes me the number of tenants who seem the think that buying a house is a legal justification for breaking a lease.Gail

I logged on to my local MLS today and noticed a new message with an attachment from the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that speaks (in general) about how almost 1/3 of the US population has a criminal record, how minorities represent a disproportionately large percentage of this "criminal population", and by having a policy or practice that restricts housing based on having a criminal record indirectly violates the Fair Housing Act without a legally sufficient justification for the denial.Has anyone else here seen or been notified of this HUD change?  

BTW, a justification of why the rule was set aside is usually included on the report any time a variance from any rule happens.

If you do want to keep them, you offer to paint some - maybe just a room or two at your expense, maybe more - and that gives you justification to get a higher rent.

We could go in and, with no justification, raise rent approximately $75 per unit.
