I took no money from the cash flow (when there was any) and I never made a late payment to the bank.This fall, nearly 12 years after the bank gave me that house, and over 15 years after I knocked on that door - after evictions, vacancies, insurance claims, and never taking a dime out of it - I sold that house and placed all of the proceeds in a 1031 exchange.

Of that 1,750 only 180 claimed surplus funds. 

Either way we will get to claim that money at some point. 

I learned so much from the course and PCS, and I'm claiming all of my cost on my taxes.

Looking for various tax strategies to reduce the reality that a large RV or boat is a grossly depreciating assetI would not have a loan, so claiming it as a primary or secondary residence and claiming the mortgage deduction is not applicable.I sold my primary residence and I have several rental properties which I use as I'm fixing them up.What I'm pondering is living aboard and working aboard developing a new product, while traveling.  

This is what I am encountering, in the current Mortgage Industry.If you think you will go FHA, Conventional, FHA 203k, etc. and then Quit Claim the property, to a LLC, or a Land Trust you run the risk of the lender discovering a Title Transfer occurred and activating the "Acceleration Clause" or "Due on Sale Clause" that requires the loan to be paid in full, within 'x' number of days.

They've been claiming for months that they are implementing a new mortgage servicing platform.

Noone bring me any REALLY good deals for the next 1-15 days, or I am subject to counter claims...Real estate industry.... get your act together.

And remember, the Federal Trade Commission warns against pay up front loans:  https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/a...Lendbase is able to skirt around this by claiming that they are just a "broker" and not the actual lender.
