Wondering for organizational purposes. 

Though my staff probably still thinks I'm nuts, in 2017 I've implemented a lot of the great advice he gives in regards to hiring and organizational structure and it has paid dividends.  

We are trying to get a organizational meeting going with little to no cooperation with the hoa manager.

The tenants are often great people but they often live paycheck to paycheck (like about half the country) and they may lack other skills that can manifest themselves in all sorts of ways (be it communication, ability to handle the clutter on the porch, or afford to fix the car leaking some oil on your driveway).In fact, I see about 3/4 of the conflicts for landlords on BP relate to items like late payments, tidiness, a broke this or that, pets (or family members) run amok, getting along with other tenants/neighbors, not following rules, noise, smells, problems with move outs, or even issues with applicant pool (like credit or job history).When you step back, you have to realize if they (all your tenants) had excellent financial, interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills--they may not be renting from you (but own their own place or even their own rentals!!).

Efficiency is a blend of knowledge, organizational skills, delegating and aggressiveness.

Operate in the stated spectrum of organizational priorities.  

The instructions for line 42(a) provide these options: Geological and geophysical expenditures (section 167(h))Pollution control facilities (section 169)Bond premium (section 171)Research and experimental expenditures (section 174)The cost of acquiring a lease (section 178)Qualified forestation and reforestation costs (section 194)Optional write-off of certain tax preferences over the period specified in section 59(e)Certain section 197 intangiblesStartup and organizational costs Creative property costsPublication 551 says this on the bottom of page 2 under "Real Property", subsection "Settlement costs":  "You can't include in your basis the fees and costs for getting a loan on property." 

Agree with @Nathan G.Also depends on the property classes you manage and your organizational skills.Class A are the easiest to manage and probably what you own.Class B is harder to manage, but still not too tough.Class C is where the good, bad and ugly are separated!

In this case, you often get what you pay for.Acquisition or Organizational Fee • Earned upon closing of the property.
