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!

As a business owner it's fun to write off everything but when financing properties that hurts you.

Let's not buy anything in year 2 just to make things easier:Still renting for $1000/mo - your new payment of $188 gives you: $812 x 12: $9,744with depreciation, $3333 and taxes $1733 (because we can only write off our interest payments!)

I plan to hand write the letter to keep it personable and local.

Tools like knife etc if have a business use you can write off.

I am thinking to write a letter to his business/company address, showing the interest and asking for the official books if he wants to proceed.

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.

Also, my tax bill was super high this year since my property didn't really require any maintenance last year, and this would be a beneficial write-off as it would buy back time and ensure a quality property.

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!

Don't just let them write you a regular check and see it bounce when you go to the bank later, or initiate a transfer that can later be rescinded.
