I guess the only thing I can do is want and see if the Sept. 1st rent shows up and if not be ready to file for eviction ASAP.   

I just filed the eviction in Jeffco.

This will also help when you file 1099s to report the proper amount to the IRS and send a correct 1099 to the PM for their PM Fees and possibly any Advertising or Repairs they may have doneFor the mortgage you will split it like you have it except the Mortgage will split to include the Principal amount to the Liability and the Interest expense. 

In addition to this, my income could not be considered because of a personal bankruptcy filed within the last year.

Let him know if he doesn't complete the job you'll file a complaint with the state department of licensure.

yup materialman could file a unjust enrichment claim.. but sounds like small dollars not much to worry about in this one

I presume the county you're in has additional change in ownership forms which should be filed.

Namely, these 2 key bits...(1) Even tho the ownership test is only required of 1 of 2 spouses, the residency test is required of BOTH spouses if filing jointly, which we were planning to do.... yet my wife did NOT live in the house during the past 5 years, which means that we'd have to file separately and will definitely complicate things quite a bit, but if it's worth it.... then, well, it's worth it!!

Yes, he can still file bankruptcy, but that is only for a 30 day period (last resort.)Good Investing...

If you live in the property for at least two years before selling, you might qualify for the capital gains tax exemption under Section 121, allowing you to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 if married filing jointly) of the gain.
