I can see where you are coming from regarding weight bearing but, most weight bearing walls on a standard home are close to center or perpendicular wall intersections making in impractical in some cases. 

Because their opinions typically carry a lot of weight and if they speak out against you, I'd be willing to bet that you'd have a tough time getting approved.

Watch your deductions on your schedule E.

We have a few good ones now, and good contractors are worth their weight in gold!!!

@Brian Karlow Sounds like you could tack a trespassing charge on to what @Stan Hill said about B&E.

I think the repair time is a minimal factor, or at max 30% of the weight of any deal.Brian Pulaski Yes, every state is different also the financial avenues used on the sell and buy, i know someone who buys a house with all cash (no lenders) and no contingency.

., an actual rentor in with a lease agreement is great documentation.Email conversations with your professionals strategizing on how to treat this property long term is also documentation.Getting the property on your Schedule E is pretty important as well.All of these things paint a picture. 

I look at the MLS daily and I know instantly whether I am interested in a property or not when it comes on the market.A couple years ago I didn't put much effort or weight into searching for off market deals but the last two properties I have purchase were off market deals.
