Usually draw fees are very minimal though and if you plan them right, it can be a great way to replenish your cash or pay down debt from rehab.

Can I pay property taxes in January that are due now, then deduct them as well as next years that I will (plan to, anyway) pay in December of next year?

Last I heard, they were planning to expand - as far as I can tell they cannot handle their current workload.The tenant can complain about a problem for months before it is fixed.

More than happy to connect and strategize game plans any time.

Things like your vacations, entertainment, toys, food, clothes, housekeeping, pets, guns etc.

That sounds like a plan in my humble opinion. 

I have not had an issue with the claw back scenario and if I did I would IMMEDIATELY begin the eviction process which I would then pursue relentlessly.But alas, some tenants use this trick after they have vacated your property. 

I tell people if they can match their current rent or do better then it's likely worth it, but you may need to get creative on the cash flow part if you only plan on living their a year or two.

FHA might be a good first step if you're strapped for cash.How long do you plan to hold the property?

Plan to make some tenant improvements to push rents closer to market rate for the area.
