Otherwise, it would depend on the maintenance requests and what is observed during them.2) Require them in writing, so you can track them!

I am under writing a small 2 tenant brand new building that the franchise i am would be one tenant and the other one ideally a restaurant but not signed yet. 

Anyone in SOCAL familiar with how to write that off on our taxes?

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

There is actually great demand in this area so I wouldn't write it off as a bad area at all!

But I didn't care because of write off's and appreciation.

They can write whatever they want, it doesn’t mean the law will uphold that if it violates laws.

There is no trick, think of it this way: you have a principal to pay off ($175k, so you could do 175 months x $1,000) and as long as you do the outstanding balance generates interest.Your mortgage payment is PITI, you always have TI, principal you pay in your own pocket and interest is a tax write-off.But from a cash flow point of view paying one off first is better, because you save both the principal and interest portion, which comes out to about $1050.

Some would argue that Texas doesn't have state income tax but who cares because you get all the write offs anyways.

If they don't accept the offer in writing, it's off the table and they fulfill their lease.3.
