Glad you laid it out there in writing, you're manifesting it!

If the place is in decent shape I would offer to credit it toward the next month's rent and write addendum including no future pets.

My properties are in B+ areas.I see in writing what they say they use to screen tenants and it looks as good as any I've seen. 

for me I would have been better off donating that 75k to habitat for humans would have got more out of it than a tax write off !!

For instance, you have to notify the state in writing if you leave a lender and tell them why. 

@Mark HafnerI've been investing internationally for many years but it's very difficult to answer the kind of questions you ask without writing a dissertation so I'd encourage you to ask more precise questions in the forum.

It is my opinion it is a small percent that do not act with integrity.Do thorough and conservative under writing.  

Tax free money is huge.I may have 100k of instant equity so I don't care about about tax write offs.

Also I am highly suspect of a company that would use an endorsement on their hope page of the controversial author Regina Jackson, whose claim to fame is hosting expensive workshops and writing books that claim all white people are racists. 

Second: writing off the full cost of a new car is badly overhyped.
