The materials used for rehab werent up to his standards.

The benefit of old homes imo is that I go in and redo all of the systems and have basically a brand new house that I know was done right bc I oversaw everything.Most new homes are built with cheaper materials than the homes built in 1900.

We have a clause in our lease that plumbing clogs not caused by mechanical/material defects in the plumbing will be charged to the tenant, and if your lease doesn't have similar I would recommend such a clause.

@Steve CrispIf you meet the material participation guidelines and qualify for the short term rental loophole you should get a free cost segregation estimate to see how much you would benefit from the accelerated depreciation. 

It does not cost the landlord except for the labor and materials.

Spend more than half of your total working hours in an RE business in which you materially participate.2.

I don't work on houses, but I have to use B and A-basis values for material strength which in effect means the real material will end up being 20%+ stronger (depend on the material).  

As for the lack of burnable material in the Palisades and other areas now, insurers will want to rebuild reserves and augment reserves for the next time, not to mention not exposing themselves to risk on this scale again.what I see happening is that the government will simply cut the Gordian Knot by using eminent domain to seize properties and redesign/rezone the whole area so that it's more defensible against natural- and human-caused catastrophe.

I will suggest that a seminar that sells training materials only would not have helped me. 

With time management, sourcing materials and learning how to complete task on your own.
