TurboTax also lets me know by email when the IRS accepts my return.Although I've never had my identity stolen (as far as I know), I can't file my return early because the K-1 forms arrive toward the end of March. 

I've found this balance to work well for me, as when people move out they only need to take their personal belongings, and I send a professional crew to clean before new tenants arrive, the cost of this already covered at the beginning of the tenancy.

If the guests haven't arrived by sunset I will use my phone to remotely control my z-wave lights so I can turn them on prior to their arrival.

It depends on what the lender wants and if they have any prior appraisals of the property in question.Traditionally appraisers use three different methods to arrive at value and reconcile the three - the sales comparison approach, the income approach and the cost approach.

From day 1 on this my thought was exactly the conclusion that the IRS arrived at.

In lieu of them using financial aid, we have them pay an $800 down payment towards rent, and then the remainder of the semester is due once aid arrives.

I have everything I can think of printed out: lease, pay or quit notices, correspondence promising payment that never arrived, etc.This has been almost too much to bear psychologically for me and my wife, so I appreciate any advice you have from experience.Thanks and God Bless.

I know that either way, I still need to obviously arrive at some ARV that I feel confident enough to work the negotiation against.  

I can import the ical calendar from my listings and it sets the code to the last four of the renters phone number based off of the arrival date.

once the income and expense figures seem reasonable (remember these numbers do not typically include any rent reserve which is a reduction to gross income to arrive at adjusted gross income), i do a quick cap rate calculation (NI/asking price).
