Again especially when they want something to be kept confidential it would not be kept confidential if it went to court.

I know right now they are also in Blight court for a couple of they're properties.

Prospective renters will let you know if the property is priced too high, needs work, or the property has some functional issues that's keeping them from submitting applications.

This is essentially a $6,000+ job of a brand new panel and outside shut off valve for what was previously a perfectly functioning system that had never given any issues. 

I am playing devil's advocate and think this coverage denial can easily be fought in court. 

I wouldn't necessarily give the tenants all that detail and copies of receipts, but you will need to have it if your assessment is disputed.FWIW, for severe damage, many landlords will stop at the maximum allowed by small claims court, because going to a different court becomes expensive.

I am now approaching 115+ days since assignment on my first 3 deals and because I am in NYS, my attorney tells me that I cannot even speak to buyer’s or seller’s attorneys due to “breach of contract”.I lost my first deal in fact because we were hindering on 130 days since assignment (should have been long closed) and the city decided to demo before we closed and were able to takeover in court. 

If something happens on that property and you were to be sued, you are going to be sued in a GA court of law and the judge can set aside the Wyoming LLC because it is a completely different jurisdiction.

Be careful; the rules for qualifying for a real estate professional are extremely complex - it is an area of the tax code that many practitioners and even judges (tax court cases) have gotten wrong.
