Once you start thinking about how properties will perform in year 5 or 6, you can start thinking of your initial financing as more of a bridge to secure the asset, which allows you keep growing. 

Jesus only mentioned tithing to illustrate how hypocritical the Pharisees were but you can bet most preachers won’t preach it that  way .just like when you hear of the parable of the “ widows mite” preachers are quick to say it’s an example how we should do sacrificial giving down to the penny  like the old widow did when it was actually when understood in context as another example of Christ calling out the Pharisees and how they extort people !   

As mentioned, your best bet is to get an adjuster to try to assist on working with you to maximize the amount received.

My question is - how do I prove in the time log that I performed a particular activity?   

I do have stocks that I could liquidate to throw at the principle but they have been performing great lately and I’d rather use those funds down the road as another down payment on a future property.Any advice appreciated Christian

IE monthly payments or interest accrued and paid at closing etc.So what I hear from you is you have a note.. but maybe NO security IE DT or mort. and its not performing at all.

How else can I verify past performance? 

You are asking legal questions and your best bet would be a quick consultation with a knowledgeable real estate attorney in your state.
