The loss would be a tax write-off not a tax liability wouldn't it?

There have been other sponsors that have sounded interesting to me, but I usually listen while I'm driving or running and can't easily stop and write down the name of the sponsor, seems like it would be more effective advertising to list them in the show notes, or to have one page where BP lists all the podcast sponsors so you can go back to get more information.

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

(Our offer was accepted, then not, then was again...)We agreed to keep them, but ONLY if they passed all the background checks, sign a new 6-month lease that we write and provide them, and submit a security deposit. 

The article, mentions a household would need at least $114k to afford a median priced home ($420,000 as of writing).

I also write in the lease if the property is not habitable due things like fire the lease cancels (not sure you can do that in California). 

Linda  I dont bother, most of these including mortgages are wiped out when tax deed issued as long as county does proper notifications.Nobody ever writes about restrictions, reservations and easements of record surviving a tax deed sale. 

Once the paperwork is submitted and inspection takes place, we write up the lease which the tenant signs along with a bit of paperwork from the Section 8 office, and we schedule a move in.In our experience, tenants who hold vouchers are statistically just as good as any other tenant.  

If you are interested in an area, look into renting a LTR from a responsible landlord and, with their permission and clearly defined (in writing) roles and responisbilities, then sub-lease their unfurnished rental as an MTR once you furnish it and get it ready.

If you're weighing between purchasing a primary residence and renting spare bedrooms versus buying the entire property, which is more tax write off advantageous.
